The @Synod_va begins

The #Synod asks us to be "great" in mind, heart, and vision, because the issues to address are "great" and delicate. Yet, we can only rise to this task if we lower ourselves, become small, and accept one another with humility.

On October 7, I ask everyone to take part in a day of #Prayer and fasting for #Peace in the world. #PrayTogether

On Sunday, October 6, I will go to the Basilica of St. Mary Major to recite the Holy Rosary and make an earnest plea to the Blessed Virgin for #Peace. I ask you to join me spiritually. #PrayTogether
