Pope Francis’ Angelus: Come and See

Last updated on: November 7, 2024 at 4:57 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Pope Francis’ Angelus today was especially touching. John the Baptist pointed out Jesus to two of his followers and they turned and began to follow Jesus, instead. Jesus turned to them and asked, “Whom do you seek? They gave what sounds like a strange reply. “Where are you staying?” they asked Our Lord. Jesus didn’t answer them directly. Instead, He merely said, “Come and see.” Here is Pope Francis’ take on this Gospel passage: Jesus does not respond: “I live in... Read more

MLK Called Out the Racism of White Christians

Last updated on: November 7, 2024 at 6:53 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Martin Luther King, Jr expressed his frustration with the white churches in his famous letter from the Birmingham Jail. Here is what he said: I had the strange feeling when I was suddenly catapulted into the leadership of the bus protest in Montgomery several years ago that we would have the support of the white church. I felt that the white ministers, priests, and rabbis of the South would be some of our strongest allies. Instead, some few have been... Read more

The Apostle Creed: Palate Cleanser for Troubled Times

Last updated on: November 7, 2024 at 7:05 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

There are days in my life when I need to re-orient myself around the basics. The most important basic of my faith is the set of truths contained the Apostle Creed. This creed is the summary of what I, at the core of my being, believe. It is my touchstone in troubled times. Praying it settles me, orients me, and, no matter how confused I may be, clarifies things for me. It’s a palate cleanser for troubled times. I believe... Read more

Can We Change?

Last updated on: November 7, 2024 at 7:14 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

America is on a one-way trajectory to self-destruction. If not now, then at some point, we will completely bring this great democracy and the wonderful, pampered lives it has given all of us right down to the ground. If we want our democracy to survive, if we want to continue to live the protected, safe, cozy lives that we have known all our days, we have to change. Can we? Do we have the wisdom and the strength to put... Read more

Will the Senate Vote to Overturn the 2020 Election?

Last updated on: November 7, 2024 at 7:23 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Trump has signaled that he intends to carry his fight to overturn the election to Congress. He evidently wants to take a shot at overturning the electoral vote that occurred Monday by challenging that vote when Congress certifies it on January 6. But just because Trump wants to challenge the Electoral College vote in the Senate, it does not necessarily mean that he will succeed in upending the proceedings and getting it done. I think there’s a possibility that this... Read more

Bishop Tony Taylor of Little Rock Ark has COVID-19. Pray for His Recovery.

Last updated on: December 14, 2020 at 8:59 am By Rebecca Hamilton

Bishop Anthony Taylor of Little Rock, Ark, has COVID-19. Bishop Taylor was formerly a priest in the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City where he made a strong record of standing for the civil and human rights of immigrants. He was a reliable help when I was trying to pass pro life legislation, and he made a real and creative effort to support work to end violence against women. Bishop Taylor was one of the very first bishops to respond to the... Read more

Pope Francis’ Op Ed: Thank You Papa for Caring About America

Last updated on: November 7, 2024 at 7:36 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Pope Francis wrote a most remarkable Op Ed for the New York Times this week. It is the voice of a loving shepherd, speaking to his sin-sick, spiritually ravaged American flock. I hope that every person, of every belief and ideology, will read it. I know that reading it was balm for my heart. We are in the grip of a huge surge in a deadly worldwide pandemic. Yet religious leaders are telling their flocks to ignore and do the... Read more
