Cardinal Seán

In my latest blog post, I reflect on my celebrations of Corpus Christi, a meeting with Dmitri Solzhenitsyn, and receiving a special honor from Friends of Caritas Cubana. cardinalseansblog.org

I join the whole Church in giving thanks for the gift God has given to the Church in Pope Leo XIV! cardinalseansblog.org/2025/05/08/the…

Pope Francis’ presence in the life of the church was a blessing.    His passing on Easter Monday is poignant as it follows Easter Sunday, the very center of our Catholic faith.  Pope Francis was a sign and source of hope for people throughout the world particularly the forgotten, the poor, the sick and the voiceless.   And it was most fitting that he was present with the faithful on Easter Sunday in St. Peter’s Square as being close to the people of God is among his greatest gifts. This was the culmination of his life and a call to holiness.  He never lost hope in the goodness of people.  He never lost faith in the mercy of God.” cardinalseansblog.org

Pope Francis has called for a day of prayer and fasting for peace in the world today. He says, “In this dramatic hour of our history, while the winds of war and the fires of violence continue to devastate entire peoples and nations,” the Christian community is reminded of its call to "put itself at the service of humanity." bit.ly/FastingOct7  #worldpeace #prayerandfasting

May the Lord bless our country and all who seek a just and peaceful society.

We give thanks for the secret service & first responders who acted so quickly. As a nation, we must come to grips with the incessant violence that has too often become the norm. It must stop. We must find peaceful ways to resolve our differences & avoid all political violence.

Our nation has once again witnessed another deadly and tragic shooting today. We join in prayer for the recovery of former President Trump who was injured today. We also pray for the families of those killed and the injured. @bostoncatholic 1)

On this Memorial Day let us also pray for peace throughout the world and that through God’s mercy we will see the end of war and conflict. #MemorialDay2024 #BostonCatholic

On Memorial Day we remember the brave women & men who have given their lives in service to our country. We ask God’s blessings on our active military to always keep them safe.We thank God for the love of country & courageous service of our veterans. #MemorialDay @bostoncatholic

As priests we are called to be Eucharistic men,& the Eucharist is thanksgiving. As priests, we must cultivate the shepherd's heart, filled with compassion & empathy. It is the capacity for empathy that produces great priests after the heart of Christ. @CatholicTV @bostoncatholic

We must never lose sight of the mysterious presence of God in the poor, in the sick, in the suffering. Prayer helps us to be kinder, gentler, more patient, more trusting. All genuine prayer leads us to love God and love our neighbor. @bostoncatholic @CatholicTV

Join us this morning for the ordination of eleven priests from the Cathedral of the Holy Cross. Broadcasting on @CatholicTV @bostoncatholic

With prayers for peace and blessings during the holy time of Passover.

Christ has risen and so we can rejoice in the promise of eternal life. Today we welcome newly confirmed and baptized men, women, and children into the Church. Happy Easter! #easter #bostoncatholic
