A New Year's Message
Bob & Joy Hernandez and Fr. Chuck Kosanke
"The Lord bless you and keep you! The Lord let his face shine
upon you and be gracious to you! The Lord look upon you kindly and
give you peace." As we celebrate the solemnity of Mary, Mother
of God, this scripture reading from the Book of Numbers ushers us
into 2004.
As the U.S. Secretariat Ecclesial Team, we feel honored to serve
you and our Church in this role. We pray the blessing given by God
to Moses will surround each of you and fill your hearts with the
knowledge that you are chosen for spiritual leadership in our beloved
movement.
A new year reminds us of a pure white canvas, empty, yet filled
with tantalizing possibilities. The shape, texture, and color are
ours to choose. Will we use bold, strong colors or soft pastels?
What brush strokes will best express who we are and what is important
to us? Our hope is that, guided by faith and love, all of us will
have the confidence to paint a masterpiece that will glorify our
loving Father.
In 2004, we will continue to rely upon your prayers as we journey
the path set before us. Our greatest inspiration is your support
and belief in us. We carry your message of unconditional love to
all we meet across America and around the world.
We love you,
Bob & Joy and Fr. Chuck
U.S. Secretariat Ecclesial Team
