As I read this latest blog from you; I could not help remembering the blog of a few months ago where you said that “In remembering your friend, Cardinal Humberto Medeiros, truly a great soul that you added a caveat that….just trying to recollect your words…..I remember seeing so many tablets (?) indicating that this place, etc. etc. was founded by Richard Cardinal Cushing and that YOU wished that You could add…”and yes, Paid for by Humberto Cardinal Medeiros (sp?). I found your special wording, striking. Card. Mediros was truly a holy and unobtrusive Cardinal. Cushing, on the other hand was a swashbuckler, who truly loved the poor, who truly loved those who NEEDED love; he knew that the Kennedys of the world SHOULD give some of their money to help the disadvantaged. Cushing KNEW that he could help separate some of that money from the advantaged by letting them give HIM the Money so that He would Make sure that it went to the Deserving. Your comments on Merrimac College after WWII, of which I was a participant, allowed 22 thousand people to metriculate was prescient. Richard Cardinal Cushing of South Boston really KNEW his PARISH. I am sure that you do too. God Bless us all as we continue to show that God is Love and He is Everlasting. God Bless you Cardinal. You are a good guy. Eddie Leahy, from way down in Florida.

I am so sorry for the loss of your friend Cardinal Dulles. I will keep him in my prayers.
I liked the nativity scene at the church, that was so neat. I liked how some of the people played their violins and sang in the choir that was awesome. I hope you have a peaceful Christmas.

From,
ShannonW.

I am so sorry for the leaving of The Dear Cardinal Dulles. I am an 87 year old French Canadian from Quebec City, and got a Ph D in Theology at 77 with a thesis on “the Rule of St-Benedict A Source of Spirituality for Lay People” and an Essay on Blessed Abbot Marmion for the Master’s.

All my life, I had a great admiration for Father Dulles and was so very happy when he was created a Cardinal. Everything he wrote was for me like gold.

Let us pray for him. May he rest in peace, in the Lord’s peace.

The Lord Bless you and your work in Boston. Please kindly bless me.

Most respectfully yours in Xto.

Paul.

I am very sorry for the loss of your friend, Cardinal Dulles.
My godmother passed a way a few weeks ago so I understand what you are going through. Cardinal Dulles’s family and friends are in my prayers. It must have been fun to see the nativity done at your church. It was done at both my school and church. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas.
Can’t wait untill your next blog.
From,

I am so sorry for the loss of your friend Cardinal Dulles. I will pray that his family and friends get through this difficult time.

Congratulations on the establishment of two scholarships to Merrimack College in your name. It must have been such an honor and you must have been so proud.

At Saint Paul’s School in Hingham, we also have a re-creation of the nativity scene. It is performed by the eighth grade students at out school, and the sixth and seventh grade students serve as the choir. The choir was singing loudly at the bottom of the stage.

I am so sorry about the lost of Cardinal Dulles. Last week, our school preformed the Nativity seen. Although I was not in it, I was at the bottom of the stage singing. I also wanted to say how much I enjoy your blogs!

The Immaculate Conception Church is a beautiful place of worship. At one time there was another magnificent Keeley church in Lowell, Saint Peter’s. Unfortunately, one of your predecessors saw fit to demolish it. We in Lowell were wondering if you even knew we existed here. The reconfiguration process over the last few years has decimated church attendance in this city. It feels that Boston is turning its back on the blue collar cities like Lowell, Lawrence and Haverhill, the very cities that built up the Archdiocese when it was in its glory days. Our prayer is that you appoint a new progressive and active bishop who will breathe some life into this long-neglected region.

I am very sorry to hear of the passing of Cardinal Avery Dulles. It was very unfortunate. I will pray for him. The people who won the scholorships are very lucky! My dad went to Stonehill College and I was very interested to learn how it came about. The window that depicts the Madonna holding the child Jesus who is, in turn, holding a chalice and a host is beautiful! I also like the t-shirt that says “Vocations – Everybody’s Business”! The ARISE foundation seems very interesting also! The interpretative dance of the Nativity looked cool!
Best Wishes,

I am very sorry for the loss of Cardinal Dulles. May he rest in peace with God forever. I will keep him and you in my prayers. I bet the crystal Cross is beautiful. That’s amazing how it reflects a rainbow. I am looking forward to commenting on your next blog!

I am sorry to hear about the death of your friend, Cardinal Dulles. We will keep him in our prayers at our school, St. Paul. When I read “A Life in Theology,” it was very inspiring, especially when I read how he was no afraid of death because of his faith in the Lord.
When I looked at the pictures of the nativity you watched, they were very inspiring. Our school also had a nativity on the 12th, and every class participated in it, from singing by the lower grades and the eighth-graders, seventh-graders, and sixth graders participating in the nativity scene.
God bless you,

I am sorry for the loss of your good friend Cardinal Dulles. I will make sure that I keep all of his family members and friends in my prayers. May he rest in peace.

Last Friday, we celebrated the Birth of Jesus at our school. First, all of the students performed Christmas songs with the other children in their grade. Afterword, the eighth grade students performed a reenactment of Christmas.The sixth and seventh grade sung in the choir on the side of the stage. It really put everyone into the Christmas Spirit!

It is great that people both young and old are coming together to celebrate God and his word. It is important that we thank God for what we have and his many gifts to us.

Sincerely,
Mariah

It too has saddened me to hear of Dulles’ passing to the Lord. I am old enough to remember his father as Secretary of State. More importantly, it was my first year in the seminary at St. Thomas in Hartford where we used Apologetics and the Biblical Christ which was authored by the Late Cardinal.

Thanks for your visit to St. Andrew’s Parish last Sunday. I love serving as organist at that parish. I laughed so hard at your story about St. Nicholas. “They took the bishop and dressed him in red…” hummmm … It was also interesting to learn that he was the first saint canonized without martyrdom.

God’s peace.
