What an amazing honor to celebrate Frank La Rocca’s Mass of the Americas yesterday at the Insigne y Nacional Basílica de Santa María de Guadalupe, the holy ground in Tepeyac where Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared in 1531. https://t.co/l9JPy99M9D continues. Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us.
I write: "the problem underlying them all is the loss of the sense of the sacred — and most especially in how Catholics worship. What does this loss mean?..The failure to evangelize the next generation of young Catholics in our pews leading to a cascading decline in Catholic faith and practice, as witnessed by the decline in Mass attendance, marriages, baptisms and religious vocations."
If you’d like to know what Christian charity looks like. It looks like this. Cardinal Raymond Burke was one of the only American Cardinals braving the cold to pray a rosary for Pope Francis last night. This after the Pope removed him from his apartment, cut his salary, and publicly ridiculed Burke during his own health battle. What a beautiful witness he offered us all.
