I am a member of the Emmaus Community in Albuquerque, a home-based Catholic ministry or in Spanish it is known as "la comunidad de base", the mission is the image of Emmaus itself, namely that "Jesus drew near and walked with them". The Emmaus Community operates under the direction of Abp. Andre Letellier of L'Sainte Eglise Catholique Charismatique du Canada.
I spend most of my time reading Scripture and studying the Church Fathers from the Apostolic Fathers up to the Eighth Century. I love history. In these matters I am a bit of a romantic.
I was ordained a priest twenty plus years ago and continue my journey trusting that goodness and mercy sustain me as I seek God's Will in my life.

| Fr Vincent added the blog post No, the devil didn't make you do it |
