Friars' Brewhouse Tap Room

Good news for the friends of the Friars…
Brother Stephen has landed safely in Korea. He will be staying with his mother for a little while until he can pull it all together.
His primary focus is to address the tinnitis that has plagued him and which has grown worse with the passage of time.

If anyone would like to send him best wishes or “thinking about you” cards, I am providing his current address in S. Korea.

(Note: His name in Korean is SanGil Leem. And, postage must be an international stamp.)

Peace to you all!

And, we compose this post with hearts full of gratitude for all of you who offered gifts of love and compassion to the fund raiser to assist with his medical costs. You have hearts of gold!

As they say, it is times like these when you find out who your friends are.

(If anyone had intentions of contributing but, for one reason or another it slipped your mind, the GoFundME page is still up and running.)

I assure you, as often you did it for one of my least brothers and sisters, you did it for me.
Come, you have my Father’s blessing! Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world.

Lord God,
you helped St. Elizabeth of Hungary to recognize and honor Christ in the poor of this world.
May her prayers for us help us to serve our brothers and sisters in times of trouble and need.
We ask this in the name of our blessed Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
