God bless the very fine Jesuit, Fr. Fessio. We have been so blessed to have him! Shame on the evil, post-Vatican II Jesuits at USF, for their mistreatment of him, in years past. God bless Fr. Fessio.
God bless you Fr. Fessio and your vocation. We are grateful for your courage to proclaim the word of God to lead all to Christ. May Our Blessed Mother wrap her holy mantle around you as you lead so many to her son. Blessings, Ann and Kevin McConville
God bless you, Fr. Fessio. You have been such a great inspiration to me and many people I know. I was at the 25th Anniversary of Ignatius Press where “The Passion of the Christ” was introduced. May you have many more blest years to come.
And, yes, Virginia, there are good Jesuits. Many of whom have spoken here, and may Fr. John Hardon, Fr. William Stout and Fr. John Powell (all SJ’s) through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
