 This Week's Reflection
 Starting over...
There is no more important lesson for us to learn as followers of Jesus - that of giving and accepting of forgiveness - of welcoming all of our brothers and sisters into the embrace of our community - loving as totally and as recklessly as our God has loved and accepted us. If we haven't learned that, we really haven't learned the meaning of being Christian.

 Worship and power
Bit by bit, the Catholic Church has been edging towards the moment when the new English translation of the Roman Missal will be in use in English-speaking countries around the globe. On 30 April 2010 the Holy See gave its recognitio to what was thought to be the final text, while on 20 August the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops released an updated version of the Ordinary with confirmation that Americans will start using it in Advent 2011. Yet the text is apparently still being revised in Rome. Matters remain unclear.
