    No external law can fix a problem that comes from deep within a twisted mind and heart.

    Ascension 2022 I polished up my Ascension Day homily last Sunday. Then I tore it up on Tuesday afternoon.

    when someone is murdered, it catches all of us up short, and when the violence is carried out on children, especially as they are praying on the second day of school, no words can ever suffice to bring us back to anything like normalcy.
