Conference in St Louis

– is the meeting that has brought me to St. Louis. Close to Omaha, only 1.15 by plane.

St Louis is the only diocese in the United States which hosted Pope John Paul II, apart from the youth meeting in Denver, Co.

It took me a long time to get prepared for that conference. I was most afraid of the Q&A part, questions and answers, scheduled to follow my speech. Of course in English. And indeed, questions were not lacking. The onlything that was lacking was the answer to some of them. English is still a “foreign language” for me.

There were lots of positive emotions and a very warm welcome. At present I feel so exhausted that I keep on writing and falling asleep interchangeably.

From St Louis,

Fr. Jay
