You have imaged the virtue of HOPE 2025 for us in your message today. It strengthens our FAITH. It calls us to an increase in LOVE. Thank you, dear Bishop Strickland for this Pentecost wind not becalmed in the Barque of Peter but looking for the Chart.

Yes! May my silence with Jesus' Eucharistic presence open my ears to listen in silence as He speaks through sisters and brothers that we may be of one mind. May I set aside my opinion about how it ought to be and trust that the Holy Spirit will lead us as Church as God is doing something new.

Thank you for the reminder that God is with us through everything. He never abandons us. He just asks for us to love Him in return.

Your words were so powerful to me as I sat in Adoration before our Lord today. Thank you for quieting my restless heart as I wait with Him and in thanksgiving for a miracle that only He could give us last week, after 2 long years of suffering in silence. God is good.

As always spot on, Msg. Hold the line in coloquial discourse is what we asked to do, to weather the storm, trusting in Our Lord. Great times to get closer to God Almighty.

Your words of hope are so badly needed. While I disagree with much that you have written (and this might lead to a lively theological give-and-take) there is comfort in your intention and pastoral kindness. Blessings.

Thank you for everything you write and do!

We were at Chapel next to Sacred Heart and just seeing your name made our pilgrimage special.
