Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters
“Peace be with you, Elton John!” are the first words I heard when turning to give the sign of peace to my friend Brent while at one of our celebrations of the eucharist this past week. Next was laughter from our retreat director who asked with a surprised look on his face, “Elton John?” Brent later explained to him that he thought that my recent addition of a beard made me look like Elton John in the Honky Chateau days. I suppose I do bear the resemblence, so no harm done.
Interacting with my brother priests while on retreat this week reminded me of what a strange group of men we are when we all gather together, but also how much we support one another and minister to each others’ needs. It was a great week of prayer and reflection that went by too fast. I hope to write more about the substance of it in future posts. There was quite a bit of food for thought.
