Nancy BrinkThe Newman Catholic Fellowship will host their memorial mass for His Holiness, Pope Francis, on Wednesday, April 23 at noon in the Fish Interfaith Center. People of all faith traditions are welcome.
Recently, these are the remarks that His Holiness delivered Urbi et Orbi (“to the city and the world”)
The light of Easter impels us to break down the barriers that create division and are fraught with grave political and economic consequences. It impels us to care for one another, to increase our mutual solidarity, and to work for the integral development of each human person…
I appeal to all those in positions of political responsibility in our world not to yield to the logic of fear which only leads to isolation from others, but rather to use the resources available to help the needy, to fight hunger and to encourage initiatives that promote development. These are the “weapons” of peace: weapons that build the future, instead of sowing seeds of death!
A great man of faith with a strong witness for justice has fallen. My condolences to those who are grieving.
Peace to all.
Rev. Nancy E. Brink
Executive Director of the Fish Interfaith Center
