The time has come to close the book on FYCV. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to have
served St. Rose of Lima parish in this modest way. A heartfelt thank you to Cheryl Jensen for her
inspiration and encouragement that originated this weekly column. Additionally, there is deep gratitude for all
the expressions of appreciation from several parishioners during the run of this column.
FYCV concludes with the following:
"We
wish to confirm… that the task of evangelizing all people constitutes the essential
mission of the Church. She exists in order to evangelize…”
Evangeli Nuntandi, Pope Paul VI
“Faith and reason are like two
wings on which the human spirit rises…”
Pope St. John Paul II
“The difficulty of explaining ‘why I am a Catholic’ is that
there are ten thousand reasons all amounting to one reason: that Catholicism is
true.” G. K. Chesterton.
Faith is a gift from God.
Reasons are a gift from an evangelist; shared, as St. Peter tells us, “with gentleness
and respect.”
I pray you "Find your
Catholic voice."
In Christ, Ken Donajkowski.
