A few years ago when Fr. Gerry and I worked together at a parish and I was going through a rough time I confided in him over tall cakes at Ruby Tuesday’s that I was overwhelmed, broken hearted, and feeling burned out – so much so that I didn’t even know how to pray anymore.
He gave me very practical advise.
“When you get up in the morning say, ‘help’. When you go to bed at night say, ‘thank you’.”
