Note: Apologies again for missing yesterday's slice. Early rising for an early flight, and a day previously of visiting and celebrating Bishop Donahue High School's 60th anniversary made it impossible to cut a slice. An early physical therapy appointment, for which I'm late, necessitates this thin slice today.
The desire to spread the Gospel to Native Americans in what is now northern New York state and parts of Canada spurred seven Jesuit priests and two lay brothers to give their lives as martyrs for the faith after years of painful adaptation to the climate of these regions and the customs of the Hurons and Mohawks.
May they inspire us when tepidity or discouragement creep into our practice of the faith. May we burn with the fire that motivated them. The same Spirit that lived in them lives in us. Let that Spirit do its work!
Bro. Rene
