Question:

Dear Mr. Jacob Slavek;

I know this is not a question on the Liturgy but please bear with me. This is the only way I know of contacting you to find out what happened to Bro. Ignatious. Is he ok or ill? Will the forums be open soon. Usually when Brother leaves for awhile, something is posted so we all know what happened. This time nothing is said. If you don't want to post my question as it's not related to the Liturgy please post something, some reason why Bro. Ignatious is not taking questions any more.


Thank you for your patience with me.

Linda

Hi Folks:


This is Bro. Ignatius. I apologoze for the long absence. I have been on a leave-of-absence for health and personal issues. I am just now getting back into the saddle.


My health is so-so. The VA has given me a wheel chair that I don't need daily, but if I go shopping in a big place like a Mall, I need one. And next week tests will be taken to see if I can continue with oral medications for diabetes or have to start using insulin, and other issues.


But I am back and glad to be back.


Thanks for all the prayers and inquiries as to what happened to me. I apoligise that the ball was dropped without people being notified.


Anyway, Jacob will begin catching up on questions that were posted more than a year ago but never answered because the forums were closed down, and start will start accepting new questions.


God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
