“Take a Measure of Me and My Heart”

These are some words of “Joe” R. Biden, Jr., a Catholic, in his inaugural speech when he was sworn in as the 46th President of the United States of America. We can do whatever we want, whatever is our heart’s desire. But as good Christians, we should pay attention to things pleasing to the eyes…

Those in prison for their crimes can find hope by looking at Jesus’ self-giving through His crucifixion and the mercy He shows to all sinners. With the help of the Holy Spirit, the “living dead” can now look towards a better future.

The “times in between” are an integral component of everybody’s life journey. They are periods of irrelevance and anonymity but crucial for a deeper understanding of one’s identity and for preparing to take on a new responsibility.
