Responsorial Psalm

With the Lord there is mercy, and fullness of redemption.

Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD;
LORD, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
to my voice in supplication.

With the Lord there is mercy, and fullness of redemption.

If you, O LORD, mark iniquities,
Lord, who can stand?
But with you is forgiveness,
that you may be revered.

With the Lord there is mercy, and fullness of redemption.

I trust in the LORD;
my soul trusts in his word.
My soul waits for the LORD
more than sentinels wait for the dawn.

With the Lord there is mercy, and fullness of redemption.

Alleluia

A caretaker

God sends relief; one to counsel, guide, and befriend. Bishop Fulton Sheen has struck deeply in my mind and heart. He took care of me during a difficult time. I am forever grateful. I am posting two distinguishing videos. The second video I find remarkable. How many priest could speak at UCLA in 1972–Vietnam war and protest still raging, hippies and cultural change firmly engaged, anti-authoritarian attitudes prevailing, and the UCLA campus a center of it all? Not only did Bishop Sheen speak, he entertained questions afterwards. The hostility of an angry younger generation is evident in the first young man to pose a query. Overall, there is a sense the remarkable man of intellect and Catholic spirituality captivated the UCLA crowd. His moving answer to the confronting young man soothes the soul.
