Gratitude for Priests

Article: Cardinal Hummes on the Church's Love for Priests
 
We love the Priests, because they are the representatives of Christ on earth. And we cannot receive Christ in the blessed Eucharist without the priests, they have given such a special mission which is to bring Christ and to continue Christ's mission on earth.

To all the Catholic Priests, we want to thank you for your total dedication of yourself, and we want you to know that we love you just as we love Christ Himself.

Sew Seeds of Love, Not Hate

Article: Priest Says Pro-Life Cause Doesn't Foment Violence

As a pro-life activist and counseling student, I can agree with Fr. Pavone wholeheartedly. I have been watching the news on Dr. Tiller's death. It is terrible to see that someone who acted as if he could be a pro-life person, decided to be judge and jury to a Doctor who admitted his own sins, by the mere fact he was a church-going fellow, and thought he was doing good for the sake of women's health.

We are all sinners, in some fashion. What is a shame in this case, is that violence only begets more violence. I think we, as a world wide community of believers need to pray for all those who work to sew the seeds of love, and for all those who appear to work to refine and grow those seeds.

Best Wishes on Priestly Anniversary

Article: Pope's Secretaries Mark 25 Years as Priests

I should like to send my most heartfelt congratulations to both priests, especially to Monsignor Gänswein, whom I have [spoke with] several times at the Congregation of the Faith. "Omnia possum in eo qui me confortat": an inspring thought for this day!

Best wishes and... please pray for me,

Jan Leechburch Auwers (The Netherlands)

Club O.B.A.M.A.

Article: A Difficult Commencement

Perhaps someone on the campus of Notre Dame could put together a group that is centered in prayer and actions in defense of true Catholic teachings and ideals. It could be called O.B.A.M.A. -- standing for "Ones Being Against Murderous Abortion," or something similar.

10,000 Priests Thank Pope

Article: Pope Readies End of Paul's Year, Start of Priests'

As executive secretary of CCBI Commission for Clergy and the secretary of the Conference of the Diocesan Priests of India (CDPI), approved by the CCBI, I would like to register the gratitude of over 10.000 diocesan priests in India, whom the association represents, and their appreciation for the timely announcement of the Year for Priests.

We are all sure that this venture will usher in renewal in the life, ministry and holiness of priests, especially of the diocesan and pastoral clergy all over the world.

The CDPI (www.diocesanpriestsindia.org)is ready and is planning to make the year of priests significant for the Church in India and for the Universal Church. Thank you very much, beloved Holy Father!

Fr. Elias John Kulandai
Conference of Catholic Bishops of India

Celebrating Church Culture

Article: Tuning in to the Spirit; Clearly Catholic

I very much agree at your celebration of Catholic Art. Catholic art portrays the triumph of Christ and communicates the beatific vision with passion and incarnated clarity. The traditional backdrops of our altars consisting of images of saints, the altar itself where Christ comes with his Angels, and the large space for the faithful, were an eloquent portrait of Christ's mystical body. Isn't it heavenly to pray and offer Mass in such a setting?

I am glad these cultural achievements of Christians are still here for us to savor.

Thank you for this article.

A Church That Prays Together

Article: Benedict XVI's Homily for Solemnity of Pentecost

Thanks to the Pope for this marvelous message calling God's people to pray together. To stop all of our activities and pray corporately, waiting and in worship of our God! Because out of corporate prayer the people will act in accordance to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, with the spiritual leadership of His gathered people.
