Between new pictures from my two daughter's blogs... I found this letter from Cardinal Dolan to the President very good! How we pray that he will recognize those that are the most vulnerable!!!
"Dear President Obama,
In my capacity as President of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, I write to express my congratulations on your re-election as President of the United States.The people of our country have again entrusted you with a great responsibility.The Catholic Bishops of the United States offer our prayers that God will give you strength and wisdom to meet the difficult challenges that face America.
In particular, we pray that you will exercise your office to pursue the common good, especially in care of the most vulnerable among us, including the unborn, the poor, and the immigrant.We will continue to stand in defense of life, marriage, and our first, most cherished liberty, religious freedom.We pray, too, that you will help restore a sense of civility to the public order, so our public conversations may be imbued with respect and charity toward everyone.
May God bless you and Vice President Biden as you prepare for your second term in service to our country and its citizens."
Sincerely yours,
Timothy Cardinal Dolan
Archbishop of New York
President
United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
Gus and Nancy go to visit John at seminary - we await the arrival soon of Nancy's little precious girl! Last night Billy was wondering why they were bringing a new life into this mess of a country. Remember, and it is more obvious now than ever - "The world needs lights!" a direct quote from wise Pat Verly in July 1978 to this day and forward! Jesus, we place Nancy and her little beautiful LIFE into your hands, and Jesus, we trust in you. Bless-bless, Barb
