It is with joy, peace and laughter that I read your blog today about the Baptism of Declan Sean Kennedy, especially as I will be attending a Baptism in my family next Sunday. I will remember your inspiring words. Thanks! Another Christian – Praise God!. I also liked the little personal info on Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone which makes him so real to the average person. With all that is going on in the Church today, your sharing of “..my hopes and aspirations” with Cardinal Bertone for the Archdiocese of Boston was very uplifting! And your ‘Parting of the Red Sea’ comment left me smiling the rest of the day.
Your the Best!
Jack Ryan

Yes, being Catholic in Utah is a bit like belonging to an exclusive club! It was especially interesting on Ash Wednesday. I would go to work, having just received the ashes and receive many interesting comments from my Mormon co-workers. They were all very nice people, but being a Catholic in Utah means being a part of a small and not always understood minority. Thankfully, relations between Mormons and Catholics have generally been good. May it always be so.

It was in Salt Lake City that I received the grace of baptism. I converted from Mormonism over ten years ago. I was baptised in the Cathedral of the Madeleine by Bishop William Weigand. God does indeed work in strange ways. He brought me to a city which is the centre of Mormonism, and it was there that he lead me to his Church.

Thank you for all your postings! I hope that more bishops embrace the wonders of the internet. As lay people, we need to hear from our shepherds. And a blog is a wonderful way to do it!

It is wonderful to follow your footsteps as you travel! The recounting of your experiences is like travelling with you. I found the site with the photos of the Consistery. What an amazing slideshow. Thank you for sharing them with us.
It was a great surprise to see the baptism of Sean Kennedy’s baby. I remember when he was here on St. Thomas working at Bethlehem House, which still ministers to so many of the poor and needy.
God bless all that you do.
Prayerfully,
Claire Foster

It is wonderful to read your blog. My daughter said that she thought the blog was wonderful. She was conscerned that the Church will make you stop the blog. I told her that I would guess that you will continue. This blog is what the Holy Spirit meant when it descended on the apostles and commanded them to speak in tongues. The Internet is the tongue of the new global internet generation. It is from this new generation of young people that will come the next generation of priests and next generation of leaders of the Catholic Church. Please continue to reach out to them and educate them through this blog.

Mitchell Sun, 01 Oct 2006 21:14:07 +0000 http://www.cardinalseansblog.org/?p=276#comment-460 Your Eminence! (It seems a bit incongruous to say that to one who models so well the humility of Francis, his founder, but you are now, after all, also a Prince of the Church!) As one who was born, grew up and lived most of his life in the Archdiocese of Boston, I feel like I’m still part of your flock, even though I now live in the diocese just to the north, Manchester. I join so many others in thanking you most respectfully for all your efforts to heal the recent, terrible wounds suffered by the Church of Boston. You are succeeding, and we all pray for your continued progress. Thanks also for this terrific blog …. and for becoming a “techie” in this age of electronic everything! Enjoy your stay in Rome! Ad multos annos!

It is a brilliant stroke which I hope can be picked up by many. Most of us cannot go to Rome and move with you through the affairs of the church. But Rome and the Church belong to all of us and your reaching out gives us a little more sense of ownership. Thanks so much.

It has been a great joy to read your posts here. This particular post touched me deeply, especially the last picture in the post: the red hat before the Cross of Christ. It is as if you were saying to all of us: “I will shed my blood for Jesus Christ and for you”, “would you do it also?” Being a seminarian I am deeply touched by that silent but intense message. I study at Mount St. Mary’s seminary along with some of the religious of the FPO, from your diocese.

Thank you for your witness, and for sharing these experiences with us.

In the Holy Eucharist,
Omar

Thank you very much for baptizing me yesterday at the Vatican. My first day as a Christian has gone very well.

Love Declan.

P.S. My new godmother helped me with this message.

I just returned from the Sunday Eucharist which was gloriously accompanied with the gift of joyful tears, only to open your blog and have a magnificent renewal of those blessed tears!

God bless you, Cardinal Sean !!!

God Bless,

My prayers are with you and the fine people of Boston during this spirit-filled and joyful celebration in Santa Maria della Victoria.

Your knowledge, wisdom and above all your love for the local and universal Church shines through in every post. May St. Therese, whose feast day is today, patroness of missions and vocations–both so near and dear to your heart– bless you on this special day.

Please remember us in your prayers,

Thank you for this wonderful blog. You have, like your Seraphic Father, brought the Gospel to the people by example and life! I cannot think of anyone else who has gone to these great lengths to keep the sheep informed and learning! Perhaps you give “preaching to the birds” new meaning! Thank you, Cardinal Sean, for this gift. Tomorrow you will be held in prayer and thought. Pax et bonum!

We are all members of this great Body of Christ. :)
