How many lives have been touched by your pastoral and prophetic ministry! And there’s no sin in being profitable as well. Congratulations and blessings on the silver anniversary of your paradoxical, peripatetic, passionate, pragmatic, prescient, polyphasic, powerful, provocative, psychodynamic, purposeful, prosperous, personal, priestly ministry.
