When I was traveling a few months back, I missed several Sunday Masses as I had no way to get to get them during my travels. Feeling a bit guilty, upon my return, went to Confession and was told by the priest I did commit a sin as he felt I should've made more of an effort to locate a church + get there. I was absolved and given penance. If I find myself in a situation like this again or anticipating it, what should I do ahead of time and on Sunday? - Anonymous

MassTimes.org!

There are a few apps for that, but I’ve always had the most luck with the website.

May God bless you abundantly!

I hope the conclave will not go on too long. All I know is that I’m just taking in a small “carry-on” piece of baggage. If we’re in there too long, and if they show photographs of St. Martha’s from outside Vatican City, my room will be the one with the laundry hanging in the window to dry!

Nature is fleeting; we will outlive it. Even when all suns and mists are gone, each one of us will still be alive.

After I recognized that there is a God, it was impossible for me not to live for him alone.

A journalist – and, by the way, the reporters from home have been mostly amazingly patient, attentive, and thoughtfully curious – asked if the new Pope would bring radical change to the Church. She seemed surprised when I replied, yes! At least I had her full attention!

I then went on to clarify that the Church was “big-time” into change; namely, a change in the human heart, which Jesus called repentance or conversion. The “job description” of the Bishop of Rome is to conserve the faith, the truths of which have been revealed to us by God, especially through His Son, Jesus, faithfully passed on by His Church these past 2000 years, and to renew the invitation of Jesus to a change of heart.

Catholic-bashers frequently accuse the Catholic religion of promoting a childish narrative of good and evil that is immune to factual evidence. Yet they do precisely the same, in the service of their fashionable and irrational new religion of anti-Catholicism.

I’ll miss you. Sure, this will be awesome for me. But, I really like being your archbishop. And I’ll be eager to get back home to you. Besides, I can get a good bowl of pasta here in New York, too.

Please God, I’ll be home by Palm Sunday. Not a day will go by that I will not think of you here with love, prayer and gratitude. If I’m in Rome longer, please send peanut butter. You can’t get it there.
