“That we may give glory to God and enjoy peace on earth let us live a poor and humble life as pilgrims and strangers here on earth, awaiting the coming of the Lord.” — Fr. Valerius Messerich, OFM
(Father Val was my pastor from 1982-84 at Guardian Angels Parish in Chaska, Minnesota. This quote aptly describes his demeanor and spirituality. He was a good pastor of souls.)
