En un momento en el que ustedes, queridos fieles, han tenido que soportar tanto sufrimiento y angustia debido a la pandemia mundial, las presiones económicas, los disturbios civiles y el horrible espectro del racismo, me duele el corazón de verdad pensar que su Iglesia podría ser una ocasión más de dolor y trauma.

Holy competition

Blessed Stanley Rother and Blessed Michael McGivney are exemplars of priestly courage, leadership and pastoral charity. Both are a source of encouragement, not only for seminarians but also for those of us already ordained.
