What Would You Have Me Do for You? Father Andre LeRoux

I was born June 27, 1947 in Montreal to a French-Canadian father and Scottish mother who met overseas during the Second World War. I grew up with an older sister and brother. In 1979, I was ordained as a priest in the Anglican Church, and I retired in 2014.

My late wife, Brenda, and I were married 43 years. We have 5 children and 8 grandchildren. I recently purchased land in Eganville, Ontario.

Of late, I have been stating it is not "the talk" or "the walk" that truly matters. Rather, it is "the path" we are walking. Jesus said, "Wide is the path that leads to destruction and many journey on it. But narrow is the path that leads to fullness of life and so few journey on it." Bartimaeus was one who I believe travelled with Jesus on the narrow path and saw the kingdom of God. What He saw changed his life forever.
