A BISHOP WITH THE HEART OF A PASTOR
Bishop Gary Gordon is now bishop of the diocese of Victoria, BC, CANADA. He is doing a lot of reaching out to First Nations people who were brutalized by residential schools. One of his priests shared this video from when he was bishop in the Yukon--as a "bright light" in the midst of this ongoing clergy sex abuse nightmare. (Bishop Gordon is also a former "Flying Father," priests who played hockey for charity and raised millions over decades.)

SR. HELENA'S DAILY BOOK FOR WOMEN: "HE SPEAKS TO YOU"
Y'all. Just in case you didn't know: I have a daily book for women, young and old. It's called "He Speaks To You."
- Jesus speaking directly to you
- A daily Scripture
- Does NOT follow the liturgical year, but progressively takes you through the basics of the interior life, starting with a grounding in God's love
- Each month has a different theme: God's will, work, Mary, heaven, suffering, etc.
- Something to do
- Something to journal
- Wisdom from the nuns (30 congregations participated!)
- A daily prayer
And here's where to get it: www.tinyurl.com/DailyBook (Also available on Amazon.)
