Bill writes, “You are so right. All of us

“Thank you. That’s a wonderful compliment. Mostly

Anonymous writes. “I was heartbroken the way the
Saints lost their game but I say the same as you said at

Anonymous #2 writes, “I went to the 7 o’clock Mass. I
know the Saints game kept people away. They should
be ashamed.”
“The earlier Masses had larger than normal
attendance. I suspect we should give the normal 7
o’clock Mass goers a break. It appears they went to an
earlier Mass.”

God and Jesus Christ. They bring us together.” The

“Thanks, sweetheart. You have given us beautiful
message.”
