The place in Rome had beautiful murals all along the walls. It must have been an honor to be the only cardinal from the US and one of the few English-speaking cardinals. The rights of children are something that can be hard for all children to receive and can be a hard issue to address.
Thank you for your once again wonderful blog!
God Bless You,

This week’s blog connected with me. Since I am in middle school I can connect with Cathedral High School’s style and life. I have applied to a couple of schools and am ready to go to high school. As always have a great week, and I was wondering if you could stop in at my school sometime?

I was excited to read this week’s blog. It was nice to read that Cathedral High School is broadening its student body by adding seventh and eighth graders into the school. I also read that you were tempted to pull the lever that causes the emergency shower to go off, this has happened at our school and it was good that you resisted the temptation. Another reason why it is great that the seventh and eighth grade building is being opened up is that there will be more job opportunities for the unemployed, such as teachers and janitors. It is great to hear that 47 young men arrived for the retreat, it is good to know more and more people are considering becoming a priest. It must have been a great honor to be the only American cardinal on the Pontifical Council. Once again you had a very exciting week and I look forward to your next blog.

God bless,

When I attended Mass I had heard that all the churches in the archdiocese were to hole the Sacrament of Reconciliation on every Wednesday of Lent. I think it is a wonderful idea. It will allow us to grow closer and closer to God without having to wait sometimes 6 to 8 months to go to Confession. One thing I thought was interesting to read about is that you were at a press conference at Cathedral High School because my current science teacher just moved from Cathedral High School to St. Paul School in Hingham. Lastly, thought that it was wonderful that you got to hear the Pope speak about children’s rights. Children’s rights are very important in a just society. Thanks you once again for such a wonderful blog this week.

Sincerely,

At an Ash Wednesday Mass I heard about The Light is On For You program. I think that is a wonderful program to have going on the communities. Thank you for posting those helpful videos on the program. I recognized the name Father Bob Reed from Catholic TV, because three classes at Saint Paul School, the school I attend, went on a field trip to do a game show with him for Catholic TV.
It is good to read that young people are thinking about joining the priesthood and going on retreats. It is also good to read that older men would like to become priests also. Thank you for posting your blog and I can’t wait for the next one!
God Bless You

We hear over and over about the critical shortage of priests, yet, at the same time, we only hear about and are asked to pray for “young men” to consider a vocation to priesthood. Why? If a vocation comes from the Lord, shouldn’t all vocations be encouraged, regardless of age?

Thank you for your weekly, sharing.
I think that it is appropriate for you to encourage the sisters to participate in the apostolic visitation, but it would have more conviction if you were to assure them that you would use your
influence to make the results of the study made known to both them and all of us. This is a day of openness and this is an opportunity for the church to display that the days of cover up and collusion are over. God bless you. John

I write to you to comment on the diocese-wide precautions against H1N1 which include abstaining from the chalice or shaking hands at the peace during Mass. While a wise precaution this fall, The vaccine has now been widely distributed and is available at local drugstores. It is time to end the precautions and rely upon the vaccine, our immune systems, and the holy spirit.

Thank you for all you have done for the archdiocese, you will always be in my prayers!

Prayerfully,

Adam

These are places that I have never been to and will never be able to go to, so I appreciate your posting them for us to see. God bless you and all you do in His name.
