Bethlehem has opened Eden: come and see.
We have found joy in secret: come and let us take possession
of the paradise that is within the cave.
There the unwatered Root has appeared from which forgiveness flowers forth;
there is found the undug well whence David longed to drink of old.
There the Virgin has borne a Babe and made the thirst of Adam and David to cease straightway.
Therefore let us hasten to this place where now is born a young Child, the eternal God.
On 16 October 2022, Fr. Jean-Luc Zadroga, OSB, Administrator of Mary, Queen of Saints Parish, offered Solemn Mass for the Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost at St. Titus Church in Aliquippa. After Mass, a farewell luncheon was held for Fr. Jean-Luc, who is being transferred at the end of the month.
