Last Day in Greece Tomorrow

Feb 10, 2009 by Fr Luke Palumbis

I can not believe that tomorrow will be my last few hours in Greece, as I leave in the afternoon for Munich, Germany for an overnight layover, then return home to America.  The departure will be bitter-sweet as I wish I had more time to further experience the history and foundations of the Church in this homeland—but I am so anxious to return home, to the Church that I serve, and of course the family I love, which waits for me after these long days. 

I have been taking advantage of the fact that this week is a non-fasting week, and I must confess to having gained a bit of weight—too many Gyros!  But even with such a short visit as this, I still succumbed to American consumerism, and ate at Pizza Hut this evening!!!

Please pray for Father Chris and me as we begin our journey back home tomorrow, and know that we will pray for all of you—specifically when I light a candle for you at the historic Church of Saint Dimitrios tomorrow morning!

God Bless,
+Fr Luke
