I believe that there is real grieving in the wake of an abortion and that compassion and care should be our first response. I pray for all who seek healing.

My concern here is not to dwell on the past but to safeguard the future. Nothing is as important for the future of our shared humanity as the right to life. Therefore, I wish to speak boldly and clearly.

Easter Sunday has arrived, a day filled with hope, joy and the promise of life eternal. It has been a truly beautiful week; from our walk along the Canal last Sunday, celebrating the journey of Jesus into Jerusalem, then to the solemnity of Holy Thursday and the deep reverence expressed as we stood in line to kiss the Cross on Good Friday.

The Angels on the Outside – This icon of the Holy Family is shaped a bit like a house with a double door. On the outside of each door there is an angel. Michael on the left, Gabriel on the right.
