Greeting. Looks are part of business. A businessman should never stand out more than his customers. His mannerisms, his clothes, everything about him… Moderation is the key.
I am from Botswana and learning to speak English, give please true I wrote the following sentence: “Check lowairfares first is the price of an airline ticket getting in the way of your next vacation.”

Best regards , Rhodanthe.

I absolutely loved this film. I had like many heard of Fr. Mychal from my sister who lives in West Milford, NJ. I also remember 9/11 and the losses and especially one of the Chaplin of the NYFD. This was so moving in such a simple way. The lives that have been touched by this man will continue to touch others. I feel blessed just to have seen this and encouraged to step outside myself to give to others.

I heard about Father Mychal and his goodwill for years. Being from the New York/New Jersey area his message was heard daily because of his love to help the needy. Not just the homeless, but people that needed him in their daily lives of struggle. I met him at St. Patrick’s cathedral one cold day in November. He was magnetic. What an honor to view this movie.
