Dear Friends, Welcome to my website! |
|
November 25, 2007 Dear friends in life and in ministry . . . I'm writing this brief note on the Saturday morning after Thanksgiving. Grandson Jack (9 1/2 months) spent the night with us. For the past two hours, Jack has entertained us with his nonstop energy and awe at his very small world. He is such a blessing. Just observing him explore, find joy in the simplest things and laugh heartily when we exchange smiles fills me with energy and awe. Joy really is contagious. I've caught it from my grandson. Pat and I enjoyed a delightful Thanksgiving dinner with our daughter Annie's wonderful in-laws Henry and Rojean Bocker. And yesterday, I actually chilled out for the first time in months. Gotta try that again. If you are reading this, it means that you have been one of the bright and glorious colors of God's grace to me. I thank God for you! Have a good week. Deacon Ray

Over the years, God has blessed me with many wonderful opportunites to minister. As a Roman Catholic permanent deacon of the Diocese of Rochester, New York, (ordained 1982), I have served in a wide variety of ministries. Whether I am ministering to my parish, hospitals, nursing homes, prisons, travel or retreat groups (e.g. Cursillo, Walk to Emmaus, Koiniania, Pre Cana, Youth) - music has played an important role in opening doors and hearts.

This website is an extension of that ministry. Here you'll find the lyrics to many of my prayer-songs and, if you like, purchase from a collection of CDs I've recorded. There's also information about tours and pilgrimages that my wife Pat and I occasionally host and links to web sites I've found interesting. |

I pray that you will enjoy this visit,
and if you like, . |
