Memorial Saint Boniface, bishop and martyr. When we hear the readings about Tobit who was healed of blindness, we are reminded of the power and significance of the term "thanks be to God," not just for the good things, but perhaps for the seemingly bad things as well. (Preached on Friday, June 05, 2009, 12:15pm, St. Malachy's Church, Broadway and 49th, Times Square, New York City.)
