“On the evening of Thursday, April 22, 2010, I was standing with my novice brothers outside St. Gertrude Priory in Cincinnati, Ohio, waiting to leave for a pro-life dinner downtown. I happened to be holding one of our cell phones, and, shortly before we got into the vans, I received a call I will never forget.
“As the phone began to ring, my sister’s cell phone number appeared on the screen: she was calling to tell me that our father, who had no medical conditions that we knew of, had collapsed earlier that day at work. She sounded scared. Thinking the cause of the collapse might have been something relatively minor, I tried to console her and asked her to call me back when she knew more.”
In a recent commentary, Brother Vincent Ferrer Bagan, O.P., reflected Psalm 16 and its consoling message.
