Pastor's Note
Even before Pope Benedict landed on American soil, the Holy Father identified a significant aspect of his U.S. mission while talking to reporters. That is, he came as a shepherd seeking to heal any sheep that were injured by sexual abuse by priests and other church ministers. In private, he met with victims of abuse. In public, the Holy Father was frank and sincere. “I acknowledge the pain which the church in America has experienced as a result of the sexual abuse of minors. No words of mine could describe the pain and hardship inflicted by such abuse.” . . . [more]
Reflection of the Week
Wouldn’t it be nice and perhaps even easier for us if Jesus still lived among us? Imagine you could invite him to dinner and spend time talking with him about politics, religion, and your own personal struggles. Would it help to hear his advice? Actually we have something even better. In human form, Jesus would be hard pressed to sepnd time with everyone but he has sent his Spirit to be with us and guide us. Do you take time to talk to the Spirit and to listen? What kind of difference might it make?
Know that I am with you always, until the end of the world. ~ Matthew 28:20

Benedict XVI • Elected: April 19, 2005 • Biographical info: vatican ewtn
Lord, source of eternal life and truth, give to your shepherd Benedict XVI
a spirit of courage and right judgement, a spirit of knowledge and love.
By governing with fidelity those entrusted to his care, may he, as successor
to the Apostle Peter and Vicar of Christ, build your Church into a sacrament
of unity, love and peace for all the world. We ask this through our Lord Jesus
Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one
God, for ever and ever. Amen.
(Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be)
