Dear Fr. Frank:
Thank you for your thoughtfulness in inviting me. Believe me, it was very tempting. But I am very sorry to have to decline your very kind invitation to attend your forthcoming event due to health problems.
You and your people are doing great work for the Lord. I hate the thought of the Church without it. So may the good Lord guide you in doing your most important work. I pray that your indispensable work will increase.
All of you are in my daily prayers.
In the Lord of Love and Life,
Fr. Paul B. Marx, OSB
