Quotes We're all we're all a bit traumatized, people are easily triggered, people get mad at each other, blaming each other, condemning each other, canceling each other... and that's just the American bishops! "Rebuilding the Church" (18 March 2022) St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church I guess when we love somebody we want to see them loved by others and being praised by others. And that's what Jesus, even all through history, so many miracles are done at the intercession of Our Blessed Mother, so much good comes into the world at the intercession of Our Blessed Mother, because Jesus wants her to be loved. Wants people, wants you and I to love her as much as he loves her. Malta World Day of the Sick Mass; Archbishop Gomez celebrant and Bishop David O'Connell, Homilist. (11 February 2023) Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels Quotes about David Gerard O'Connell I remember thinking, "here's this great Irish guy, hope he does well." Little did I know he was already working circles around us native guys, just in terms of totally immersing himself in the community, making everyone feel that he was a kindred spirit to them, and he was. Dave was never a chameleon. He was never pretending to be any of these things. He did it because he was genuinely interested in everyone, wanting to love everyone.
