Everyday Life and the Gospel
Funeral Sermons and Homilies
I am disabled. I cannot speak so I can no longer preach. And have difficulty swallowing and have lost 90 pounds so far. I want to keep sharing my sermons with you as long as God gives me the grace to do so. The neurologists in Kingston, Ontario have diagnosed me with ALS, Lou Gehrig's disease. I have two twins going to university. Please include my family in your prayers. I am REALLY struggling so I am humbly asking you to help me. I am on a small disability pension which barely keeps me and my family alive. My boys have set up an account with PayPal. (It is complicated to donate. They say (the PayPal People) that the total has to be updated even though you insert an amount.) Any amount that you are able to give will help me. Thank you for whatever help you are able to give and please sign my guestbook .
