It isn't everyday that a well known author reads your book and comments on it. But that is what happened. If you have not read "The Father's Son" by Jim Sano then you are missing a real treat. So I sent him my book, and this is what he said about it:

I recently finished reading Father Jeffrey Keyes' book, "Rad to Trad: A Journey to the Extraordinary." The book itself has a beautiful cover and great photos throughout, but it was the story of a faithful and reverent priest that was what I enjoyed most. It was wonderful to get a glimpse into the life and perspective of a priest over the past several decades of his vocation. I enjoyed learning about Fr. Keyes’ gift and love for music and sharing that gift as part of his vocation. The most profound gift that I will take from this personal story was an insight and appreciation for the great mystery of the celebration of the Mass. I feel as if he opened the door a crack to raise my awareness and pique my curiosity to more fully appreciate this mystery. That is the gift I will be taking the time to get closer to this Lenten season and going forward in my own faith journey. Thank you for writing this book, for sharing your journey, and for keeping the focus on Christ. A great book that I could not put down and will go back and read again. Jim Sano

Luke 18:31-43
At that time, Jesus taking to Himself the Twelve said to them, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things that have been written by the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be accomplished. For He will be delivered to the Gentiles, and will be mocked and scourged and spit upon; and after they have scourged Him, they will put Him to death; and on the third day He will rise again. And they understood none of these things and this saying was hidden from them, neither did they get to know the things that were being said. Now it came to pass as He drew near to Jericho, that a certain blind man was sitting by the wayside, begging; but hearing a crowd passing by, he inquired what this might be. And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. And he cried out, saying, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me! And they who went in front angrily tried to silence him. But he cried out all the louder, Son of David, have mercy on me! Then Jesus stopped and commanded that he should be brought to Him. And when he drew near, He asked him, saying, What would you have Me do for you? And he said, Lord, that I may see. And Jesus said to him, Receive your sight, your faith has saved you. And at once he received his sight, and followed Him, glorifying God. And all the people upon seeing it gave praise to God.

Today is the first anniversary of my beloved sister's death. You were the one who stood by me and supported me with every breath when lies were told about me and even Provincials and Bishops abandoned me.

Man is not only a body, but also a soul. The soul is the spiritual element in Man’s composition. You are a great soul!

Kathryn Louise Keyes (DeForest) March 13, 1952 -- January 28, 2019

I am on a silent retreat this week. So there will be some media silence, though I may post a picture or two. My one companion is Joseph, the Monastery cat
