Dear Parishioners,
One morning in 1888 Alfred Nobel, inventor of dynamite, awoke to read his own obituary.

As he read the obituary with horror, he resolved both to make clear to the world the true meaning and purpose of his life and to get ready for his meeting with his God. He decided this could be done through the final disposition of his fortune.
