When Martin Baron, one of the most consequential newspaper editors in America, announced his upcoming retirement, he cited his work overseeing the Boston Globe s coverage of clergy sexual abuse and cover-up as a highlight of his journalistic career. I think the impact has been really quite profound on several levels, he told NCR ahead of his retirement. One on investigative journalism, the other on the Catholic Church and then more broadly on institutions that are facing allegations of abuse of various types, but particularly sexual abuse.
Dear Catholic Online Community and Catholic Online School students.
I AM HAPPY TO OFFER EACH OF YOU AN INVITATION TO SUNDAY MASS ON THE SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT in the Catholic Diocese of Tyler. The response to offering these liturgies online has been overwhelming. The readings, as always, offer so much for us to reflect on. It is helpful to pray through them and reflect upon them before we assist at Holy Mass.
Our first reading for today s Mass is not only an important historical account in Salvation history, it is rich with allegorical meaning and was the favorite of many writings of reflection in the Christian Tradition. It is the familiar story of the faith of Abraham and the test which he endured, and which he passed. That test showed the depth of the faith of this man called our father in faith in the Canon of the Holy Mass. He knew what the Lord had promised in giving Isaac to he and Sarah so late in life, but more importantly, He put His faith in the Lord of the promise.
