« St. Joseph’s Day
What I didn’t like about the Papal Inauguration »

Here is what I want you to know

March 19, 2013 by Amy Welborn

All of you.

Because this is Catholic. Which means  – this is Jesus, who loves us, saves us and who lives in each one of us.  This is Catholic.  Which means – this is who we love.

Please.

Pray away your agenda.  Now. And just love.

From my comments: 

Pope Benedict is as precious to me as my own grandfather. I love what one commenter correctly described as his gentle scholarliness, and I love the humility and love for God that float invisibly around him like a mantle. No, he wasn’t perfect. Yes, he should have managed the Curia better. And, yes, I fully expect Pope Francis to be just as holy a pope as Benedict was – but also to make just as many mistakes, albeit likely different ones. Don’t we all? As a relatively new Catholic, though, I have to say that all the harsh injustice that is being leveled at Benedict in the form of comparisons with Francis is the most painful, heartbreaking thing I have experienced since entering the Church. 

And from today: 

Jesus. Everywhere. Jesus.

  • Me on a certain element of John Wick 4. You can...probably guess which one.  Some thoughts on #solotravel and the #emptynest which of course turns into a Big Ol' Metaphor... "...as I get older, my position in this body seems to be shifting. Sitting in the front speaks of a life centered on quieting, teaching, forming and directing, of a time of life when molding and shaping other people is your job and actually seems possible. A short video with photos from my February trip to Matera #Italy .  Portions of "The Passion of the Christ" and "No Time to Die," as well as several other movies were filmed here. More at March 19 is the Solemnity of St. Joseph. (It will be celebrated tomorrow, 3/20 in the US). I arise today For St. Patrick's Day, some images from a wonderful old book. For more: St. Patrick’s Day is on Friday, but in preparation, let’s take a look at a mention of him in my new Loyola Kids Book of Seasons, Feasts and Celebrations. A short video with images of some of the churches I visited in #Naples during my February trip. For more, go to:
