Pray for a peaceful transition on the 20th of January.
I believe that there are two essential beliefs if our democracy will heal and thrive.
The first belief was presented by former governor of California in an address to the nation last week. He said he learned it as part of his Catholic education, "the nation needs a Servant Heart." All of us are challenged to serve others rather than ourselves. Let's remember that the U.S.A. is OUR country not MY country.
The other belief is to work for the common good. A nation whose citizens place a priority on the needs of others will have less poverty, crime, illness and homelessness.
Following the example of Jesus, each of us must seek the basic goods for all of us.
Fr. Michael Hebda
