HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR
THOMAS M. FAHY
July 22, 2021
Feast of St. Mary Magdalene
Be faithful to Me, and My Will shall be your life, the hand that leads you,
the feet that walk, and the mouth that speaks—in short, in you It will make up for everything.

One great way to describe Thomas Fahy is faithfulness. He was extremely faithful to his God, his Religion, the Divine Will, his wife, Kathy, to his friends, and to all who loved the Divine Will, and even to strangers.
He also developed the ‘constant thought of God,’ Who was the most important Person in his life, other than his wife, Kathy!
I just wanted to put this out to wish Tom a very happy 82nd earthly birthday! So, this Snippet will be about faithfulness!

“You ought to know that I have acted with you as a king who begins to love a friend who is very different from him in status; but his love is so great, that He has decided to make his friend like himself. Now, this king cannot do everything with one stroke and make his friend like himself—rather he does it little by little. First, he prepares a royal palace for him, similar to his own; then he sends decorations with which to adorn the royal palace. He forms a little army for him; then he gives him half of his Kingdom, so that he can say: “What you possess, I possess. I am king—and so are you.” But each time the king gives him his gifts, He looks at his faithfulness; and giving the gift provides him an occasion for new happiness, greater glory and honor for himself, and a new celebration. If the king had wanted to give to his friend, all at once, all that he has given him little by little, he would have embarrassed his friend, because he had not been taught how to rule. But, little by little, through his faithfulness, he has come to be instructed, so that everything becomes easy for him.”
