Readings

Do send our Governor a note--not as a political act, but as an act of love:

          The Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo
          Governor of New York State
          NYS State Capitol Building
          Albany, NY 12224

“Reverence must be paid even to those sinners whose souls seem to be dead because it is Christ, who is the life of the soul, who is dead in them. They are his tombs, and Christ in the tomb is still potentially the risen Christ.  We should never come to a sinner without the reverence that we would take to the Holy Sepulcher.  Pilgrims have traveled on foot for years to kiss the Holy Sepulcher, which is empty.  In sinners we can kneel at the tomb in which the dead Christ lies.”
