As a native of Dublin (having lived in the States for 40 years) I feel a great sense of pride when hearing about Sean Patrick O’Malley who is a Cardinal of the Holy Catholic Church. Your blog is an absolutely fantastic way to reach out to the Boston community, and indeed to the entire world. You are forever in my prayers.

Maureen

Thank you so much letting us into your mind and heart as you travel. I am still devoted to Padre Pio, but after my wife read his biography she began having nightmares. I think she related too much with his sufferings and all the evil in the world. Keep the journey coming. This is the first time I have ever written on a blog. God Bless you.

It is fascinating to hear about the baptism, the special access to the basilica and to see the many wonderful photos. We can only hope to hear more.

My heartfelt thanks to you and your staff for sharing your trip to Rome in this Blog. Your use of the Blog concept, in my opinion, is one of the best Evangelical tools available today.
Thanks again for your generosity in sharing such beautiful photos of Rome and the Vatican. One can only imagine how
thrilling it must have been for you to experience the habitat
and close Spirituality of Padre Pio’s footsteps.
May God Bless you in all you do.

I have read your blog and find it interestring and informative. You give a personal dimension to the daily life of the Church. I had the privilede to serve in the Archiocese of Boston at the Atonement Friars Chapel in Westgate Mall in Brockton from 1971-1973. I keep in contact wih several friends that I have known over the years and always have a special place in my heart for the Archdiocese of Bostoin. I visit the Archdiocesan Website frequently and now will visit your blog. May God continue to bless and protect you as you serve the Archdiocese of Boston as its Shepherd. Sincerely, Fr. Mike Graham

I am 68 years old and have never read a blog before. I loved reading it and enjoyed the pictures very much. I will be answering phones this Friday night for BCTV. I have done this every year since the beginning of the telethon. I am in St Theresa Parish, West Roxbury and have a very nice picture framed that was taken of my husband and me with you after the Mass. Have a wonderful rest of your trip and be safe. Christine

This is an amazing site! Your messages are wonderful! Thank you for sharing this trip with us!! We are so lucky to have you as our Cardinal in Boston! The pictures are amazing. I can’t imagine the feeling of being in Padre Pio’s quarters and chapel. Someday I hope to be able to go to Italy. There are so many wonderful things to see! I pray you have a safe and wonderful trip and I look forward to being able to see the Mass to be televised by BCTV!! God bless you! Ciao!

I found it very interesting to read your comments regarding Padre Pio and the fascinating connection the Irish have to him. I am American of Irish Descent. I went to Italy twice a few years ago and was instantly attracted to gathering information about this Saint. He was very much apart of my own personal pilgrimmage to healing. I have his prayer in various forms in my house and find I do have this “connection” to his life and teachings. I traveled deep into Italy to a church he would hold his healings in. It was very enlightening.

It was nice reading your post.
Take Care,

I find praying and avoiding wandering thoughts away from the prayer and the purpose intended to be a struggle at times. Maybe your approach, brief but concentrated more often during the day will be the answer. I thank God for giving you to us. GOD bLESS yOU.

Congratulations not only on this latest accomplishment, but also on your consistently fine work! I am as delighted as you with this recent way of communicating GOD’S message and most of all FOR SHARING YOUR THOUGHTS AND EXPERIENCES with all of us. We’ve all benefited from your creativity and your insight into so many wonderful places in the Eternal City. My thoughts and prayers are with you every step of the way. Que Dios lo bendiga siempre Padre Sean, y por favor encomiendenos siempre a todos en la familia y en la comunidad.
Gracias,
Myriam

I read your blog on my blackberry on the train ride to New York after reading about it in the Globe. I think the church should continue to comminicate using all methods that people use in these hectic times. Without the blog I wouldn’t have given my religion a thought this morning. Thank you.

My family and I just recently left the US so that I might study at the International Theological Institute at Gaming, Austria. We flew from Boise, Idaho to Chicago to Frankfurt. The terminal to fly to Vienna seemed to be several miles from our arrival. It seemed like an endless journey as we drug four very tired children to the gate.

Thank you for your wonderful blog, Cardinal O’Malley. We are enjoying it very much.

I just wanted you to know that as a young person today it is good to see high profile people such as yourself going out of your way to get your message out to the people. It seems only natural to have the teachings of the church spread in the most efficient and democratic means possible, I can imagine all the apostles would have had a blog if they were around today. I hope your colleagues will follow in your footsteps.

I’m about as far from being Catholic as possible (in fact, I’ll be going to a Rosh Hashanah dinner tonight…), but I’ve still subscribed to his RSS feed and am looking forward to reading what he writes. I’m not sure if it’s been done before, but I think this is really cool. A Cardinal, the Archbishop of Boston, is writing a blog. Regardless of whether your Catholic or not, or even if you can’t stand organized religion, I think this will prove some really interesting insight into the inner workings of Boston, Catholicism, and maybe even the Holy See. At the very least we’ll learn something about the Cardinal himself. And, you have to admit, it would be pretty sweet if the Pope himself were to start a blog; a place for him to pontificate if you will …or not. [...]
