inperpetuity Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Hi parents are good friends of mine. I met him several times while he was in the seminary. A beautiful soul. May he rest in peace and may Our Mother of Sorrows console his family in their grief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightofChrist Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 http://youtu.be/seXdJ_XxeBA The video recording was made available of the sermon delivered by Fr. Walker for the 9th Sunday After Pentecost, 2013 (July 21, 2013). The Gospel for that Sunday is well known: "When Jesus drew near Jerusalem, seeing the city, he wept over it, saying: 'If thou also hadst known, and that in this thy day, the things that are to thy peace: but now they are hidden from thy eyes. For the days shall come upon thee, and thy enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and straiten thee on every side, and beat thee flat to the ground, and thy children who are in thee: and they shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone, because thou hast not known the time of thy visitation. And entering into the temple, he began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought, saying to them: It is written, My house is the house of, prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves.' " (St. Luke 19:41-47) Father Walker reminds us in his sermon to make use of the time of our own visitation, our short days here on this earth, with the means provided by God: "let us then, make use of the means that God has provided for us to show our repentance, our submission, and our trust in Him."

Perigrina Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 An article about Father Walker's time as a student at Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Academy: http://www.seatofwisdom.org/remembering-fr-kenneth-walker/ From the very first day of the two years he spent studying with us, Kenneth had his sights set on the priesthood, and he did not seem to waver in that mission. He would fraternize with the other young men and women, but always in a chaste way, and knew where to draw the line. He enjoyed to laugh and joke; indeed, his joy and laughter were infectious in the best of ways. I’m not sure there was a social event or trip that Kenny missed. As befits his future public role, Kenneth enthusiastically participated in the drama production both years he was here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
