As we move further into the gospel of Mark and its main theme found in Chapter 13, Fr. Pete focuses on his years as a "Kitchen Prefect" and maitre d' of the banquet hall at Mundelein Seminary, serving as Joseph Cardinal Bernadine's personal waiter at his villa, him serving at cocktail parties and dinners for the US Conference of Catholic Bishops during their events at Theological College (Washington, DC) and Mother Angelica's "bodyguard" at seminary functions. With all the "name dropping" he could offer, Fr. Pete's homily focuses on what really inspires him in life - dropping the pretense, forgetting about the ladder-climbing, and SERVING ALL OF YOU!!! What a gift you all are!!!
