Tu es Sacerdos in Aeternum - You are a Priest Forever

01-14-2018Pastor's LetterMonsignor Gregory W. Gordon

Today, I celebrate my 30th Anniversary of Priestly Ordination. On this anniversary, I want to thank my family for transmitting to me our Catholic Faith and always encouraging me in my vocation; hearing the Lord's call. They are with me at this anniversary Mass today: my mother Carole (my father William was called home to the Lord in 1994), my sister Karen, and my brothers David, Paul and Rick, and their families. Some came from Pennsylvania and Maryland today. Thank you, family, for always being there; I remember all of you with love at Mass today.

This Sunday, it is most fitting that vocation is the theme of the scriptures: How well do we listen to the Lord's voice; how willing are we to do His will? Through baptism, we have been joined to the Lord; we are called to be His disciples. Lord, raise up many new disciples, and priestly and religious vocations, here at Saint Anne's and in the Diocese of Las Vegas.

Hoy celebro mi 30avo Aniversario de Ordenacion Sacerdotal. En este aniversario, le quiero agradecer a mi familiapor haberme transmitido nuestra Fe Catolica y porsiempre animarme en mi vocacion; escuchar elllamado del Señor.

Es muy apropiado que la vocación sea el tema de lasEscrituras este Domingo: Que tan bien escuchamos la voz del Señor;¿Estamos dispuestos a hacer su voluntad? Estamos unidos al Señor por medio del bautismo,estamos llamados a ser Sus discipulos.
