this morning I would like to pay a special tribute to a recently departed friend, Father Jim Willig, a dedicated and dynamic Catholic priest who was called by our Lord last month after a 2-year battle with cancer. Even while suffering from a debilitating illness, Father Willig continued to give to our community, sharing his memories and his message and inspirational book: Lessons From the School of Suffering: A Young Priest With Cancer Teaches Us How to Live. The Cincinnati Enquirer noted that even while he faced impending death, ``his faith remained strong and was an inspiration to others, like a lighthouse on a dark and storm-tossed sea.'' The Cincinnati Post accurately stated that ``few touched as many lives as Father Jim Willig.'' Father Willig will be sorely missed in the Cincinnati community, not only by his parents and 10 brothers and sisters and nieces and nephews, but by the countless people he has touched in his ministry. Father Jim, your flock deeply misses you, but we know you are with our Lord.
