Reflections on Walking Together on the Journey to Right Relationships: A Message from Archbishop Don Bolen We are approaching the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and look forward to marking it in various ways. But we are mindful that this is not the work of a day. We need to embark on an era of reconciliation which will ask much of us, but will allow us to take important steps on a path to justice, to healing, to living together in a good way, in right relationship with each other and on the land on which we are blessed to live.

There’s a line I came upon in the musings of a preacher: On a Sunday morning many of the people sitting before you are the walking wounded, and you need to give them permission to be sad.

St. Joseph has no terms and offers to no one an account of his life. He accepts a fatherhood that is not a fatherhood, becomes a father in renouncing a natural ...paternity, allows the designation father to be used of him without advertising that his is a very special case. His silence marks the intimacy of his total self-gift and, one could say, self-immolation into a paternity he cannot brag about and an identity of which he can give no account except to and in the heart of Mary his wife. But this, in traditional pietyand not without biblical reason, if Ignatius and Origen are reading correctlymakes him not the image but the shadow of the Eternal Father whose identity is dark and unknowable because it consists in the complete effacement of identity that is the begetting of the Son (like a supra-cosmic black hole of which St. Joseph is the visible version). But what is darkness and self-effacement and blankness on the one side of self-immolation is generation and paternal love and affection on the other side, toward Jesus. --John Cavadini READ MORE: The Fatherly Heart of Saint Joseph https://hubs.ly/H0FrwlZ0

It’s a practice of faith, charity and justice prudence. It’s a practice of concern for others. It has to do with a mutual health issue. That’s important, he said.
