Daniel Nunes is now a transitional deacon well on his way to becoming a priest. He said his thanks to all of us this past weekend after delivering a homily about the Trinity – not a very easy subject to explain. We all wish him well with his Fall River assignment and whatever else comes his way.
Being a devoted Star Trek fan with a rather thorough knowledge of the series and subsequent movies, he shared with me his appreciation of Star Trek characters and plots. I’m also a fan with many years of devotion to Captain Jean Luke Picard (my favorite) with Spock being the ever-present provider of wisdom and logic.
“Live long and prosper” was Mr. Spock’s way of saying, “So long and farewell.” Consequently, I couldn’t resist slightly changing that farewell to reflect what Dan must now do as a deacon and later as a priest. Actually, it’s advice we all should take to heart.
