Let Us Not Grow Tired Of Knocking

We Ask For Peace And Freedom For The Many Men And Women Subject To Old And New Forms Of Enslavement On The Part Of Criminal Individuals And Groups.

Today Is My Anniversary Of Ordination To The Priesthood. Please Pray For Me And All Priests.

Mercy Is The Very Foundation Of The Church's Life...the Church's Very Credibility Is Seen In How She Shows Merciful And Compassionate Love...mercy Is The Force That Reawakens Us To New Life And Instills In Us The Courage To Look To The Future With Hope.

There Is Another Important Point: Encountering The Poor. If We Step Outside Ourselves We Find Poverty. Today-it Sickens The Heart To Say So-the Discovery Of A Tramp Who Has Died Of The Cold Is Not News. Today What Counts As News Is, Maybe, A Scandal. A Scandal: Ah, That Is News! Today, The Thought That A Great Many Children Do Not Have Food To Eat Is Not News. This Is Serious, This Is Serious! We Cannot Put Up With This! Yet That Is How Things Are. We Cannot Become Starched Christians, Those Over-educated Christians Who Speak Of Theological Matters As They Calmly Sip Their Tea.

Yet Only When We Come To Understand, In The Light Of The Cross, The Evil We Are Capable Of, And Have Even Been A Part Of, Can We Experience True Remorse And True Repentance.
