WOW! What a beautiful website. I just quickly glanced at all of the beautiful pictures of the places you have been and what you are doing. I know that I will be coming back to read more. Actually Archbishop Sean, I was concerned about Fr. Frank Pavone, of the Priest’s For Life, making public his support for John McCain for President. I realize that he has a right to give his individual support for any candidate that he wants. I’m concerned because this information could infuence a lot of people to vote for McCain, who I believe is not the best candidate in the ’08 election. I really do not think McCain stands a chance against OBama or Clinton in this election. But there is one whom I believe can put up a good fight and possibly win against either Obama or Clinton, regardless of what the polls and media show. Have you had time to examine the library on Dr. Alan Keyes website? Would you please give me a few words on what you think about Alan Keyes that I may share with others and publish on my blog?

Cardinal O’Malley,
I was one of the 300+ pilgrims from the Fall River Diocese!! Your message to us at the youth rally on Sunday night really struck me… indeed, we are champions – champions of and for Christ, His Church, and Life!! It was a great blessing to be able to worship and pray with our brothers and sisters in the archdiocese. It was my second time at the March. You’re in my prayers!! Pax tecum!!

Thank you, Cardinal O’Malley for your zeal and committment to the Gospel of Life. I praise the Lord for having come across this blog! Wow, I would have never guessed to read a Cardinal’s blog. What a tremendous way to spread the faith!
I thank Him for you, and for all that you do.
It would be a great honor to meet you in person some day! If you are ever in New Hampshire, please visit Magdalen College. God bless you.

Every year I think that I should take the day off from work and make the trip to Washington and somehow I never do. My gratitude to all who do more than I.

Excellent witness for life, and being Catholic. Even still, not enough volunteers stand at the door of Planned Parenthood on Commonwealth Ave (Babcock Street – B Greenline T stop), So I hope more young people of all ages will stand at the gate of the slaughter, and witness to the sacredness of the unborn. More people are needed every day.

Dear Cardinal Sean, Your enthusiasm for promoting vocations is wonderful and you never fail to acknowledge seminarians. I understand that men and women of all ages and at any possible time in life might be called by the Lord. It is not only “young” people (an undefined age group), as you stress, who follow Christ. May we raise awareness of the gift of discernment among all people, regardless of age. In fact, it might be more fruitful to emphasize that the men and women others do not consider to be young should most listen for the call. The bias towards “young” sends the message that those who exceed this age need not apply. I pray that is not the case.

I enjoy your blog and find it so wonderful. The media is so selective in what it chooses to print, your web site helps me to realize how many wonderful things are happening in our faith. We are active members of Saint Mary’s Star of the Sea Parish in Beverly and we are celebrating Catholic Schools week at our parish school were my daughter Sarah is a 6th grader. It is a wonderful place and I am so blessed to have this community in our lives. I am looking forward to the Popes visit in April and wish I could attend this special Mass with my family.

Since the first Anniversary in 1974 the Right to Life March has now embraced another generation. I pray that this generation abjure the errors of that generation of Catholics, the majority of which, disregarded HUMANAE VITAE in regard to the intrinsic evil of contraception, and embrace the whole, integral culture of life.

Dear Cardinal Sean,
With Lent approaching, I wonder if you would broach the subject of fasting. I typically fast during lent, sometimes advent and at various points throughout the year depending on my prayer intention. I usually fast two or three days a week on bread and water. My aunt, who is a lay Franciscan of a primitive order has told me not to fast this year because I am currently nursing a newborn.
Obviously, the health of my baby comes first and I am not intending to fast this year but how do I keep my prayer effective without fasting? I’m afraid if I don’t make fasting a part of my Lent then I would tend to ignore this special time of year.
Thank you for reading this! Christine

I praise God for you, Cardinal Sean and I thank you for your untiring support in defending life and encouraging the youth to do the same. I was fortunate to watch on EWTN : the West Coast Walk For Life, the Washington March For Life and the awesome Vigil Mass at the Shrine. Your pictures tonight also include the 20,000 youth gathered at the rally in the Verizon Center sport arena. You also mention the standing ovation for the 600 seminarians present there. I am so encouraged to continue to pray for them and for you good Cardinal Bishop of Boston diocese. Would you kindly pray for the prolife movement in Canada and for our country. Proud to be a prolife,
Sr Cécile in Moncton NB Canada
