Dear Cardinal Sean,

I think it is excellent that you agree that the voters of Massachusetts have voted independently to the success of candidate Scott Brown, considering that this state is normally democratically oriented. I also think it is outstanding that the Archdiocese of Boston can come together to pray upon the best for Scott in the upcoming year in light of the Christianity connection we Catholics have with Scott, a protestant.

Thank you.
Chris

Your Eminence,

Will you be posting the homily you delivered on the Friday of the March for Life at your old parish in Columbia Heights? As an OMV seminarian, I was in attendance and was hoping to be able to share your message with others.

Grace and Peace,
Brett

Dear Cardinal Seán,

I agree that this years election was a very historical and educational one. I knew Scott Brown will do a great good as Senator with the guidence of God.

I am very sorry for the loss of Father Joe McGlone. It can be hard to lose someone who you know or have worked with. He is in my prayers.

I am glad to hear that doctors and nurses are volunteering to help the Haitian people. Espessically since there was a second earthquake ther. It is very devestating and it is sad to hear that many people who were there have not been found.

Thank you for this weeks blog. I am looking forward to next weeks.

Sincerly,

I am very sorry to hear about Father Joe McGlone. The blog that you celebrated with the deaf community at Sacred Heart Parish was very nice. I am happy to see that volunteer medical personnel from St. Elizabeth’s Hospital went to Haiti. Thank you for your wonderful blog!

Dear Cardinal Sean,

This week’s blog was awesome! I think that is so great how the crucifix had Jesus saying “I Love You” in sign language! It is also great that 75 people volunteered to work in the hospitals in Haiti.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Father Joe McGlone. I will be sure to pray for him and the victims of Haiti.

Dear Cardinal Sean,

I am sure that Scott Brown, our new Senator of Massachusetts, will do his best to work for the common good of the state. I will be sure to pray for Senator Brown and I wish him all of the best!

I was very sorry to hear about the recent passing of Joe McGlone, after his 32 years of service to Corpus Christi Parish in Newton. It is wonderful that so many parishioners and priests came out for the funeral Mass.

I was devastated to hear about the recent earthquake in Haiti. The devastation inflicted upon this nation is heart wrenching. I will pray for the victims of the earthquake and the volunteers, who are doing their best top heal with the few supplies they have.

Thank you for this weeks blog and God Bless.

Sincerely,

Dear Cardinal Sean,
It was suprising that the Senate seat went to a Republican, since it has been a Democratic seat for so long but I’m sure that Scott Brown will do a great job.

The crucifix you recieved is beautiful! I love the sign language, how clever!

The nurses and doctors who volunteered to go Haiti are very brave and thoughtful. It is a very noble thing to do and I will keep them and the people of Haiti in my prayers.

It was nice to see the pictures of Sacred Heart in Newton – where I grew up. Your Eminence might be surprised to learn that both Cardinal Spellman (1932-1939) and Cardinal Cushing (1939-1944) were pastors of Sacred Heart while they were Auxiliary Bishops in Boston. Later Auxiliary Bishop Eric MacKenzie (?-1969) was pastor. In 1936 Eugenio Cardinal Pacelli, later Pope Pius XII, visited Sacred Heart and stayed overnight in the rectory with Bishop Spellman eschewing the Cardinal’s Residence in Brighton and a stay with Cardinal O’Connell. So, the first person to become a Pope to visit Boston stayed at Sacred Heart.

Perhaps you noticed the picture of Cardinal Pacelli, the commemorative plaque and ceremonial candle marking the event of his visit?

Cordially,
Jim

Dear Cardinal Seán,

I also found the election results surprising, especially because Senator Kennedy, a democrat, was senator for so long. I’m sure that Scott Brown will do his best as our new senator!

I am very sincerely sorry for the loss of Father Joe McGlone. But it’s wonderful that there was such a great turnout for his funeral; I’m sure he is with God now.

It’s so great to see so many people volunteering to help with the tragic circumstances in Haiti. That kind of religious service should be a model for us all – what an amazing example to be able to provide!

Thank you for another great blog! God bless!

Your Eminence- I have faithfully followed your blog for almost a year now and I was delighted to see you at the Mass for Life this past Thursday. I was blessed to be one of the 400+ seminarians who processed for Mass. Though I wasn’t able to meet you or even see the celebration of Mass, you and your Brother Cardinals, Princes of the Church in our country, are a great inspiration to Catholics here, especially youth and young adults. Thanks for your service to Holy Mother Church. Pax tecum!
