Past visitors to this blog may remember my twin brother Steve. He is now Rev. Mr. Schultz, with the photo in the Arlington Catholic Herald to prove it! Go ahead and click on that link and you'll see one happy Deacon.
RC was kind enough to make the journey from the Great Temperate North to bask in the 100+ degree weather we had that weekend.
Our whole family is overjoyed that Steve has made it to this point in pursuing his vocation. He keeps telling me he is proving that homilies don't have to be long to be boring, but I say he's his own worst critic. His first homily was outstanding.
Please keep Steve and all other seminarians in your prayers!
He may know the joke that goes, comparing trying to strike oil and preaching: "if you don´t hit the jackpot after 10 minutes...quit boring." :)
Congratulations to your brother, and a hearty welcome to Holy Orders! May God give him every strength and grace he needs to lead all souls to Christ.
