This morning our parish came together to mourn the passing of a dear friend, Derek DiGrgorio. Being diagnosed around the age of ten with Ataxia Telangiectasia, over half his life his ministry to others came from the position of sitting in a wheelchair. His gift – his blessing to me and to all those around him was teaching us how he faced adversity – how to take it head on…and with the grace of God, how we convert those challenges to advantages. In short - how we take our dis-ablements…our cracks and our wounds and to allow the light of Christ to shone forth from those cracks and on to others.
