Remember not the sins of my youth and all my follies, O Lord.
Early this morning the Lord called home the Reverend Father Theodore Heck, OSB. Father Theodore was the oldest Benedictine monk and priest in the world at the time of his death at 108.
Father Theodore was a priest and monk of the Archabbey of Saint Meinrad.
A slideshow of Father’s life and ministry can be seen here.
O God, Who didst raise Thy servant Theodore to the dignity of priest in the apostolic priesthood, grant, we beseech Thee, that he may be joined in fellowship with Thine Apostles forevermore.
May Father Theodore rest in peace.
