I follow with interest your wonderful blog as the mother of a child adopted from an orphanage in St. Petersburg, Russia.
I humbly request that you keep these orphans of Russia in your prayers while you are there, and say a special prayer for the woman who chose life for my child.

This blog is a great addition to the evangelical mission of the Church. Our Church needs more missionary-mindedness like this as we go into the future.
As one very interested in Eastern Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches it has been good to read about the pilgrimage East and to Rome being taken by Eastern and Western Christians together.
One custom from the East I would like to see copied is the dropping of the word “permanent” from the words “permanent deacon.” For there is only one such ordained order in the Church and it is that of “deacons”
I have never seen a married Eastern Catholic or Eastern Orthodox priest referred to as a “permanent priest.” This is because there are many situations (like the death of one’s wife) that can change everything—including a call to a diffferent or “higher” order in the Church.

I see twins !

Anyway, I watched the commemoration of Mother Theresa in the BBC television channel just a few weeks ago. There were times in her life when she faced such great difficulties like many of us.

As usual I enjoy your blog.

Cardinal Sean O’Malley,

Metropolitan Methodios and you look like brothers

and twins with similar beards. I mean that as a compliment

to both of you.

Have come to look forward to Fridays as I follow your
blog every week.
Enjoy all that you write and the pictures tell so much.
The honoring of Mother Theresa is so special. Look forward
to reading the book of her writings. She took a huge job
on when she started to take care of the sick and dying in
Calcutta. Only a Saint could keep it up year after year.
Thank you so much for your blog. Look forward to reading
more.
God Bless You, Sir.
