One Diocese’s Early Warning On Sex Abuse
I’ll reserve comments until I have time to digest. In the mean time – this is of interest because it refers to incidents that started in 1957 and includes detail on how then Bishop Matthew F. Brady responded:
…he wrote letter after letter — at least 15 in all — warning other bishops not to let the priest back into parish work.

Our Risen Lord
On the third day the friends of Christ coming at daybreak to the place found the grave empty and the stone rolled away. In varying ways they realised the new wonder; but even they hardly realised that the world had died in the night. What they were looking at was the first day of a new creation, with a new heaven and a new earth; and in the semblance of the gardener God walked again in the garden, in the cool not of the evening but the dawn.
– G.K. Chesterton, The Everlasting Man

Many thanks for the prayers
Teresa and I are doing better vocally, the allergies seem to be subsiding.
I hope everyone has a blessed Good Friday.

Prayer Request
My wife Teresa and I are suffering from severe allergies and basically can’t sing. This is very bad since we have the Triduum litguries coming up and both of us are supposed to fulfill cantor duties. Please say a prayer we can make a full recovery by Holy Thursday.

Palm Sunday
The Word of God the Father,
the Son who is coeternal with Him,
whose throne is heaven, whose footstool is the earth,
today has humbled himself by riding into Bethany on
a donkey.
So the children of Israel praise him,
bearing green branches and crying:
“Hosanna in the highest! Blessed is he who comes,
the King of Israel!”

Stichera for Palm Sunday
