...Time to Say Goodbye

Blessed James Alberione's personal reflection from 1954 (written in the third person) is more than apt today:

As for his poor self: he has accomplished part of God’s will, but he must fade from the scene and from people’s memories... So, too, at the end of Mass, the priest removes his vestments and stands before God as the person he is.
