Today's Wisdom

Those who do not pass from the experience of the cross to the truth of the resurrection condemn themselves to despair! For we cannot encounter God without first crucifying our narrow notions of a god who reflects only our own understanding of omnipotence and power

Conservatives Vs. Liberals

In his General Audience on Wednesday November 4, 2020, Pope Francis said "I cordially greet the English-speaking faithful. In this month of November, let us pray especially for our deceased loved ones, and for all who have died, that the Lord in his mercy will welcome them to the banquet of eternal life. Upon you and your families I invoke the joy of our Lord Jesus Christ. God bless you! In these days of prayer for the dead, we have recalled and still remember the help-in-waiting victims of terrorism, whose hardening of cruelty is spreading throughout Europe. I am thinking in particular of the serious attack in Nice in recent days on a place of worship and the attack the day before yesterday on the streets of Vienna, which caused dismay and resentment among the population and those who care about peace and dialogue. I entrust to God's mercy the tragically killed people and express my spiritual closeness to their families and to all those who suffer as a result of these deplorable events, who seek to compromise fraternal collaboration between religions through violence and hatred. Today is the liturgical memorial of St Charles Borromeo, a solicitous pastor, dedicated to the good of the people. I urge you to make your own that virtue that this great Archbishop of Milan chose as his motto: humilitas. Humility is the attitude with which you seek and serve truth and good. Finally, as usual, my thoughts turn to the elderly, young people, the sick and newlyweds. I encourage everyone to offer a sincere witness to the primacy of prayer in the lives of believers. Prayer is always a source of hope and consolation." TO BE CONTINUED
