Farewell To God's Servant
Farewell to God's Servant
Inspired by Father Mike Duggan, a Catholic Priest from Sacred Heart Church in Strathmore, Alberta.
Although we are as strangers I pray for your success,
In teaching every nation that God's Way is best....
I pray good health will chaperon wherever the Spirit will lead.
May you become noted as God's Choice and fruitful seed.
May necessity to chasten fade with the stirring of each new day...
May you know love and laughter and may your songs be light and gay.
May you seldom raise a finger to scoff or criticize
May you always view the sinner with compassionate Christ-like eyes.
May the name: Michael Duggan place a smile on every face,
And a caressing tarry within each heart that your absence will not erase.
