What a wonderful beginning to the New Year. Along with all that you mentioned, I’d like to congratulate you for the Middle School Parent/Teen Chastity Curriculum being launched this year. I’m so excited about it. You can read more of my praise at http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-T.zCccoib6GpXOTYUMgjfGSx7qJW?p=258

May God continue to bless you in all that you do,
Kathleen

While doing some research on-line about St. Fidelis in Herman, Pa, I noticed you gratuated from there. I had 3 uncles gratuate from there in the 70′s and had planned to attend myself but the facility closed before I was of age. I lived the first 28 years of my life on Chicora Road (Route 68) just 5 miles from St. Fidelis and have lived the last 10 years in Northeast Ohio. I currently run a local movie theatre chain in Cleveland. I find your blog very interesting and from all I have read you are doing an incredible job in the Boston area. I will pray for the continued success of your diocese.

I am so happy that I decided to ‘sign in.’ My uncle, who died at Regina two years ago, loved the place, and especially, the people. We still miss him so much, but we are so grateful that he had people who loved and cared for him so tenderly. What a wonderful treat to see their pictures. Again, thanks to you for your service, and to the staff at Regina, for all that they do for the men who have given their lives for God’s people.

I am a current senior at Boston College High School. As an aspiring worker in the field of medicine, I find the Church’s response to the new developments in regards to biotechnology to be heartening. These adult stem cells can eliminate the need for embryos and have potential in both the field of medicine and ethics. The response from the Church also demonstrates that science and faith can coexist. I hope that the Church will continue to support developments that are beneficial to people, as long as these developments continue to respect the dignity of all human lives.

Sincerely,
Bohan Liu

I hope and pray that this will be the year that troubled parishioners of recently closed churches will find peace with the Archdiocese so that there will be one less distraction for you and your staff during these difficult times.

We the faithful are so indebted to courageous leaders of our Church such as yourself. I thank you for your witness to charity, to compassion, to truth. Thank you for standing up for the sanctity of all human life, our most precious gift from God. Thank you for echoing in your actions the words of Our Blessed Lord, “I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly (Jn 10:10).”

I pray through the intercession of Our Lady that this year will awaken in the hearts of every man and woman a new reverence for all human life, for the need of a consistent ethic of life which protects life from conception until natural death. My own home state of New Jersey has finally outlawed the death penalty, and you have written well of the exciting new stem cell opportunities, and the miracles of ultrasound technology and the availability of it are causing an awakening as to the reality of human life in the womb. Please, Cardinal, continue to stand up for life, continue to stand up for Christ, for it is the likes of you, my own Archbishop, Justin Cardinal Rigali, and many other soldiers of love, including our Holy Father, who will lead this Church to greater conformity to the Sacred Heart of Jesus , through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. God bless you!
