Today, we celebrate the Feast of the Archangels. "Angels are real. Maybe that's the most important thing to say on this feast. Angels are real, Jesus talks about them, He wouldn't lie." May the angels watch over us, and when we die, may they lead us into paradise.

"I walked by the chapel; it was night and I looked in. And there was one light on over at the side. And Charlie was praying there. ... He was looking at the tabernacle. He looked like a man in love."

"The only way we're going to understand today's Gospel is by seeing Our Lady not just as the Immaculate Conception but as a very human mother because that's what she is."

We do not bring out a crucifix on Good Friday. It's the cross itself. So intimate was our Lord's connection with his cross that we celebrate a feast in honor of an object made of wood.
