Send Me


Bishop Wayne Smith and myself at my ordination to the transitional diaconate, December 16, 2017

Use me, God, in Thy great harvest field,
Which stretcheth far and wide like a wide sea;
The gatherers are so few; I fear the precious yield
Will suffer loss. Oh, find a place for me!
A place where best the strength I have will tell:
It may be one the older toilers shun;
Be it a wide or narrow place, 'tis well
So that the work it holds be only done.

-- Christina Rosetti (1830-1894)
On the feast day of Christina Rosetti, 2017
