I was privileged to preside at liturgy there. No special reason other than they needed a priest. Looking at those gathered the fruits of her ministry were evident. People from all over the world calling Washington Heights (and NYC) home. I feel we need her intercession now more than ever! 🙏

A homily from an unknown person nearly 2000 years ago. How true this is and challenges us today.
The One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church has preached truth since the earliest times.

BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.
NEW: At Pope Leo’s Urging, Bishops Issue Historic Rebuke of Trump’s Raids
Nearly all U.S. Catholic bishops united in Baltimore to denounce the Trump administration’s “inhumane” deportation campaign — a near-unanimous, unprecedented moral stand against a sitting president.

Yes - and what an example they would have in Oscar And Romero!
I know I shouldn’t generalize but what else can I say if really most of them says absolutely nothing? They behave like hypocrites - they are bishops! They have responsibility and they are conformists …

It would be heartening to hear prophetic teaching from U.S. bishops on issues like violent mistreatment of immigrants, extrajudicial murders in international waters, military support for genocide, etc.
They have some great models of prophetic, saintly episcopal leadership.

Today's Gospel challenges me, do I walk on the borders of society? To those who are seen as outcasts & unclean?
May I always walk that path as they too are my brothers & sisters who need to know the "healing touch" of Jesus.

A retired priest I pray with over the phone every night told me he used to lead pilgrimages to Lisieux.
We met Sunday for a meal and he gave me a priceless treasure, a 1st class relic of my patron Saint, Therese.
So honured & blessed.
