Fr. Tony was new to our parish and passionate in his vocation. He gave an entire homily on our response: “It is right to give You thanks and praise.” I was lifted up by his enthusiasm. I have no idea how long he spoke, but the Spirit soared in my heart and throughout my body and mind. As Fr. Tony spoke from the stirrings of his heart, I was invited to go deep. I realized that I, too, could exult in God.
