Steve, what a beautiful Divine Mercy homily. I need to go back and read it from the top. (Hat tip to Thomas McD for sending his readers here today.) I hope you, Suzanne and family are well. Be certain of my prayers for alla y'all.

So good to hear from you, Dave, and many thanks for the kind words. I worked hard on this homily, but I also feel like I was mostly just reporting and God did three-quarters of the work! I am grateful for your prayers, and we will remember you in our family prayers tonight.

I didn't make the connection before this! 🤯 Very glad to find you again. God bless, brother.

Deacon Tom, you super sleuth you. I've been one poor correspondent with both you former Register star writers. But I'm still an OK Catholic, thanks be to God. And thanks to both of you, powerfully if indirectly. I feel oddly proud of you guys for becoming deacons. Odd because who am I to feel that way? :-o

Deacon G, I thought for sure that BXVI died in 2022, not 2018. Are you sure he died in 2018?

You are of course correct, Michael—how on earth did I make *that* mistake?? Thank you!
