A New Year’s resolution
The new year is a time of great hope and fresh beginnings. To be sure, the problems of the past year don't get swept away, but we see things in a new light in these beautiful days after Christmas-when once more we have renewed our faith in the God who came one of us, who shared in all the joys, worries and anguish of our humanity. We can approach our problems with the hope that comes from knowing that God in his tender mercy is always with us.
As we begin the new year, I invite you to pray with me for a greater spirit of solidarity, a greater opening of our hearts to the needs of the poor, who are always with us, and always seeking our friendship and love.
Archbishop José H. Gomez, S.T.D.

 Cardinal George voices hope for Obama Administration. Points to possible obstacles to our desired unity.
Cardinal Francis George of Chicago, president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), voiced hope for the Obama Administration but pointed to possible obstacles to our desired unity, in a Nov. 12 statement at the end of the annual fall assembly of the USCCB.
"The bishops of the Catholic Church in the United States welcome this moment of historic transition and look forward to working with President-elect Obama and the members of the new Congress for the common good of all," he said.
He said that "the unity desired by President-elect Obama and all Americans at this moment of crisis will be impossible to achieve," if the administration's policies increase abortions. (More)
