I’m always grateful for our Sweet Tweets, but lately they have been a lifesaver for me as my travel schedule has me on the run and my book writing has begun in earnest. John Clem’s time spent compiling the most important news of the week keeps me tuned in to what’s been happening during the week. I urge you personally to participate in John’s Greater Good Technology campaign. This is technology at the service of the Word!

Thanks to John Clem, the Director and Media Minister at Catholic Web Services (http://catholicws.com/), we’ve got a full recap of all of this week’s most important action both online and around the world:

Papal Tweet “The Saints were not superhuman. They were people who loved God in their hearts, and who shared this joy with others.” (Pope Francis Nov. 21st)
Papal Tweet “To be saints is not a privilege for the few, but a vocation for everyone.” (Pope Francis Nov. 21st)
