A Workhorse for the Lord

Friday of Week 24 in Ordinary Time (Year I)
1 Timothy 6:2-12 | Psalm 48(49):6-10,17-20 | Luke 8:1-3

The Boeing 777-300ER, a mainstay of long-haul flights:

The Bombardier Q400, a common sight on short domestic hops:

Fr. Paul Staes, devoted priest and occasional carrier of shopping bags:

Hmmmm…
