Eminent Father!

I agree that Father Carlos Lopez is a true blessing to our parish.

I also agree that your cell phone photos are quite good.

That said:

Please, people!

Turn your @*$&@Q* cell phones off during Mass!

This is my first time visting your website and I looked around on it for a little while and it is pretty spectatular. I would also liek to add that I think it is very impressive to dedicate your whole life to God and give up everything you have to serve him as best as you can. I would also liek to add that you should sometime give my school of Boston College High School a visit in the near future as we could use an inspirational speech from an inspirational and Godly man!

Dear Cardinal Sean
I’m an italian boy from Rome. I wrote on this blog to tell you that your Eminence is a great person. You are very humile and I’m very happy when I see what you do for the Church and for The People of God. I hope to see you in the future as bishop of my city.

I really appreciate you. I love that you posted a picture of a family celebrating their marriage and baptism of their child.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU!!

Thank you Fr. Sean for sharing your uplifting life as a Bishop with us. Your humility and spirituality shine through for us all. We need to know that there is much life in your work and that you are not a CEO, and the office itself is not like a business. Your blog makes that clear. You realize how much your diocese is benefitted by these contemplative communities of sisters. Much grace comes to us through your blog. I stumbled upon it through Spirit Daily. I too am going to DC for the first time by bus at age 69. I read the words of the Lord who said, “I want you to stand up and defend me!”

Dear Cardinal Sean: Many thanks for your weekly blog. I appreciated hearing of your visit to Regina Cleri, and your mention of Msgr. Bill Granville. I taxed his patience more than once. When I was leaving the Archdiocese and heading for Roland Park, Msgr. called my father and asked him to become the prysician for St. John’s…which he did. I recent years I got to visit wich him and other rertired priests on Wings Nech Road at a cookout.

Now I’m about to do a “Sean thing”. I’m saying Mass for Sister Mary Anne Kohl on her 100th and for the other sisters at Mt. St. Mary’s. Thanks for reminding me of them and their needs.

GOD BLESS YOU!

Dear Cardinal Sean,
This is the first time I have read your website. Yes’t I met your pro-life secretary at the tribute to Cong. Hyde at Faneuil Hall. She told me where to find your blog.

I loved the pictures of the Enrique family, celebrating their parents’ 25th wedding anniversary, and the baptism of their baby sister. Great parents and great kids. Congratulations….
A Blessed New Year…

Dear Cardinal Sean:

I am simply in awe of your passion in spreading God’s love! I love that you visited the nuns and took pictures of them. I love that you posted the names of priests and what they do. I love that you posted a picture of a family celebrating their marriage and baptism of their child. I love that you included young men in this post. Most of all, I love the picture you chose to be the best picture of the week. It portrays full life and joy. What a great gift you have! And what an inspiration you are to all of us!

God bless you abundantly, Cardinal Sean!

Your wonderful blog will be on my sidebar. I thank you!

Your Eminence,
I’m an Italian boy. I’m sorry for my bad english! It was very impressive for me to see what a Catholic cardinal has made as Archbishop! You’re so humile and I admire your poor francescan style! I’m the spiritual son of a very good priest, who has great knowledge in “Sacra Scrittura”. He obtained two licences at the Studium Biblicum Franciscanum in Jerusalem! I bless God because He let me know him who has let me love Jesus and the Church.
Exscuse me again for my bad written comment.
May I ask you to read the letter to Jesus I have written for this Christmas? If you want I can send it to you!
May God and San Francesco bless you and your wonderful work.

Your Eminence,

Thank you! I found your site through a google alert for the Little Sisters of the Poor. When I read the blog for this week, it made me realize how wonderful it is to have great leaders in the Church. May God continue to bless your work and I will keep you and your diocese in my prayers as I ask for your prayers as I discern what religious community God is calling me to. Thank you for the pictures of joyful, young sisters!

Your Eminence, well done with your cel phone pictures. You’re more advanced than I am–I don’t think I’ve taken a picture once with my phone! I know my home diocese of Wichita will be bringing plenty of youth for the pro-life rally, but the best I can do is hope to make it to Archbishop Chaput’s Mass here in Denver next Saturday. As always, I enjoy your blog and never miss a post!

Sincerely,
Nathan in Denver by way of Wichita

Cardinal Sean,

Thank you so much for attending the March this year. I am the president of our student pro-life group here at Villanova, and we will be bringing a bus full of students down with us. This event is so important, it is one small thing we can do to give a loud voice to those who are never even given the opportunity to cry. I was fortunate enough last year to attend the Students for Life America Conference the weekend leading up to the March, as well as the Mass at the Basilica (I saw you there!) led by my own Cardinal Rigali. What a beautiful Mass it was! Unfortunately I will not be at the conference and Mass this year, but I am very excited to join in solidarity and prayer with my fellow marchers of all faiths, as well as solidarity with those truly least among us for whom we fight. Thank you once again for your continued powerful witness to the hope of Christ which breaks through all despair and loneliness, the hope which our Holy Father reminds us is the hope which saves. In Christ I hold fast to this hope that this enemy of life will indeed be conquered, if not in time then certainly in eternity. Peace be with you, Cardinal!

In Christ,
Michael Hallman

Cardinal Sean
We need more good news Catholic web-sites by our Bishops. We need once again to be able to look up to the Bishops and put the recent past behind us. This is a great blog, I found it through Spirit Daily. May the Good Lord Bless you and your Diocese, may he bring many new Priestly Vocations, we Pray after every Mass for Vocations to the Priesthood, I know he is listening, just sometimes wish he would be a little quicker with his approval. THANKS from Sin City
