I am close to the Catholic community of #Nice, mourning the attack that sowed death in a place of prayer and consolation. I pray for the victims, for their families and for the beloved French people, that they may respond to evil with good.

Jesus, passing by the customs post turn to Mathew and said to him, “follow me” (Matthew 9:9). It is in following the Lord that we find meaning and joy in our life! Happy feast day of St. Matthew!
I woke up this morning feeling my radical need for God, for mercy and grace. Feeling our weaknesses can frighten us but it’s also an invitation to place deeper trust in God and know the sheer grace of being loved. Self-sufficiency isn’t everything!
St. Cornelius shows us today that there is always a chance to return to the Church, that God never stops loving us, and dialogue needs to take place. Ideas that were true 2000 years ago, as well as today.
Mary was not forced to go through the sorrows in her life. Rather she did because she loved her Son. She experienced sorrow because of love! #OurLadyofSorrows
