My life as a Jesuit Priest, college professor and Vice President for Mission and Ministry at the University of Scranton, calls me to preach a full and flexible Catholicism, a religion trumpeting the fact that God loves us (see my book _A Faith That Frees: Catholic Matters for the 21st Century_ [Orbis books]). The God who is Love calls us to construct a world wherein all can grow Happy and Healthy and Holy and Free. Christians, as followers of Jesus, are all invited and impelled by the Holy Spirit to live a Faith that does Justice. Justice consists in the Righting of Relationships on both personal and societal levels. Jesus wants us to reach out to our sisters and bothers around the globe who suffer in poverty and share the wealth of the world. St. Ignatius, the founder of the Society of Jesus (i.e., the Jesuits) said it best: "Love is better expressed in deeds rather than in mere words."

It is Saturday afternoon, and all I can say is that I am hoping for all kinds of good news tomorrow morning.
Father Rick - Just found your blog and site. Being that they are the "Fightin' Phils" the should should say, "Fight, Phillies, fight!" Great blog, great articles, and I'm looking forward to reading your new book!
