My nephew, who is a Msgr. in the KC/St. Joe diocese has just received his brothers stem cells to treat a blood disorder. He is making remarkable recovery.

His brother was born when the Msgr graduated from HS, later the brother received his first confession from his older brother on the day of Msgr. ordination. The next day, at Msgr's first mass, his brother received his First Communion. Now that brother has literally saved the Msgr's life. With God's blessing and Will and the skill of his physicians, the Msgr will receive his brother's kidney in a year or so.

This younger brother was what used to be called a Whoops. Only God knows the plans He has for us.

Please keep the Msgr. in prayer, he still has a way to go before being returned to God's service.

Elm,

That story is incredible (in a good way). What's the first name of the Msgr, if I may ask? I might know him.
