I love the Gardner museum. I hadn’t been there in 20 years and it was only a recent visit that I noticed the beautiful Catholic art!

And thank you for preaching on the need for prayer in our lives. I don’t think most people realize if they don’t put the time in praying and listening, they will not be able to hear the will of God for their lives.

God bless!

Thank you so much for allowing the Tridentine Mass to continue at Holy Trinity church!
My wife and I assisted there at the Feast of Christ the King in October of 2005. The schola was magnificent.
The beauty of the church is beyond belief.
The altar rails are still in place. The high altar has not been demolished, it is awe inspiring.
We now live in North Carolina, but we have both been praying that the Tridentine Mass would return to Holy Trinity. We hope to assist at Holy Mass sometime soon.
Again thank you so much, Your Eminence, and Have a Holy Christmas.
Yours in the Baby Jesus,
Dan and Elena Hunter

It’s great to follow you, and witness some of the wonderful workings of the Holy Spirit in the Archdiocese and beyond.
Last year, I too, had the opportunity to visit the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum for the first time. It was Lent, and there was enough inspiration for a silent retreat day. I missed the Franciscan coat of arms, but particularly liked Bellini’s ‘Christ Carrying the Cross’, where violets are displayed in season in a silver cup as specified by Isabella herself.
Please be assured of prayers and best wishes as we celebrate the immense gift of Christ’s coming to us.
A blessed Christmas.

His divine design and intelligence is of course everywhere, and we need to slow down and think on that more often.

How wonderful. As I try to mold my 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son into people that Jesus would be proud to call his own, I can’t help but think that this blog will be another tool that I can use to show them service to others. Thank you so much and have a wonderful Christmas season.

The Gardner Museum is truly one of the great treasures of the city of Boston. I am glad you enjoyed your first visit…following in the footsteps of your predecessor Wm. Cardinal O’Connell. He was, as you can imagine, attired quite differently for his stately visit …..”pompa magna”, to say the least!

If you do not know it, you should also visit the Boston Athenaeum on Beacon Street, just down from the State House. It is a fantastic library with collections dating from Colonial times. YOU can brouse some of George Washington’s personal library in the Athenaeum. While a student of English literature at Boston College, many years ago, I spent hours in that library learning all about our New England literary greats!

Mes meilleurs voeux de Joyeux Noel, Eminence.

I read with interest you weekly updates. The photos are great and there is no dull moment in Boston – despite the wintry conditions.

I wish you and the community of Boston a very safe and holy Christmas and a great 2008.

As a Nicaraguan I must say I missed a reference to the feast of Mary’s Inmaculate Conception in your blog. My best wishes for this Advent. May God prepare our hearts to welcome His birth with hope and joy.

visits, pictures and comments. Many thanks

for this beautiful idea of a blog so that as many

people can visit with you and at the same time,

learn more about the “job” of an Archbishop in

your large diocese of Boston. My dad at 106 is

a resident of Waltham with a brother and sister

close by. He watches Mass each day. Merry

Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is very beautiful indeed. I went there for a field trip with my fellow students from North Middlesex Regional High School last October. And I was very pleased with the “lessons” on Catholicism. I’m glad you included some pictures of it in your blog.

God Bless You and Have a Merry Christmas,

Rob Carney
