Let’s open ourselves to allow the Holy Spirit to move us in unity and love

I welcome the Holy Father’s desire to foster unity among Catholics who celebrate the Roman Rite. Let us work with care, patience, justice and charity as together we foster a eucharistic renewal in our nation.

Think serenely, enduringly and evenhandedly with the mind of Christ about the beginning process of fulfilling the Roman Rite and the Latin Eucharist.

Unity is not either or; it is diversity embracing one spirit! That spirit is the Holy Spirit.

Discerning the mystery of the Holy Spirit is challenging and clarifying! Do not presuppose the movements of the Holy Spirit. Open yourself to move within its constant unity and love.

God eternally will providentially care for his Church. Clarifying change with charity is conversion.

A ‘thank you’ for Msgr. Campion’s weekly column in The Criterion

I would like to say “thank you” to Msgr. Owen Campion for his Sunday readings column each week in The Criterion, and particularly, for his “reflection” after discussing the Scriptures.

This week’s (July 16 issue) wisdom highlights—while reflecting on Jer 23:1-6, Eph 2:13-18, and Mk 6:30-34—from him were: “People do not have to struggle to find God’s truth. God will send representatives to speak the truth.”

Another nugget of wisdom was “God’s truth is exact. … It simply is as it is.”

Thanks to The Criterion for carrying his column.
