I visited Jack Duffy who is beginning his transition from earth to heaven today. The wonderful Duffy family and Ann Cooke gathered in person and the rest of the family gathered on Zoom -around his bedside- to say goodbye and share their gratitude and loving memories with their Dad.
Amidst tears and laughter we prayed, sang , and played his favorite hymns as we accompanied Jack to heaven’s door.
Jack and his wife, Helen were among the first members of our Home Church- Mary Mother of Jesus Inclusive Catholic Community in Sarasota, Florida. They called me to serve MMOJ Catholic Community as their priest.
On Sunday, the family and I celebrated a Catholic Mass/ liturgy and Jack received the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick.
