Dear Father Martin,

Since I am a lector, somehow happening on your website was one of my top blessings in 2015; it is one I can joyfully take with me into the New Year. I’ve perused so many scripture websites and have always been dissatisfied - until now. You have helped me go deeper into the Word and ponder it’s meaning. It’s very exciting and yet humbling to realize how much I have stayed on the surface all these years.

Now my husband has joined me in watching the YouTube [videos] you link to for Sunday Masses and Feast Days. He’s a techie and runs them from our Mac onto our TV, so we can sit at your feet and learn together. Your love of the Lord and scripture and people is contagious. We love your stories of living in Jerusalem and Canada and your references to John Paul the Great and Pope Benedict’s writings, Vatican ll documents, writings of the saints and early Church Fathers - and your sense of humor!

There is a critical need for your ministry and we pray that it will grow and spread.
