Did you know that you could ring up Jesus? Well, it’s not a direct pipeline to heaven but it is possible to hear a few words from on high each day.
"If you knew Jesus’ phone number, would you call him? And by the way, that number is (631) 667-5569.
"A lot of people would, according to Msgr. Frank Gaeta, pastor of Ss. Cyril and Methodius Parish in Deer Park and creator of a 24-hour-a-day recorded phone message system called ‘Dial a Moment With Jesus.’
"Callers, of course, do not actually have a telephone conversation with the Son of God, but they do hear a three-minute spiritual message recorded by Msgr. Gaeta each day.
"This service has been offered for approximately eight years, first at St. Brigid’s Church in Westbury when Msgr. Gaeta was pastor there and now at Ss. Cyril and Methodius; so far there have been 75,000 calls. ‘I think people enjoy hearing another voice,’ he said."
Now if I could just find the Blessed Mother’s phone number….
Well now as everyone knows, God’s telephone number is: Et Cum Spiritu Tuo
Cool! That’s the parish where my parents both grew up, and where I was baptised. I’ll be sure to send my Mom the article. Thanks for posting it!
Anybody know St. Philip Neri’s web page?
It should be good for some laughs.
