Merciful Father,
hear our prayers and console us.
As we renew our faith in your Son,
whom you raised from the dead,
strengthen our hope that all our
departed brothers and sisters
will share in his resurrection,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
—- Amen!

For the Lord delights in you,

Meet the Jesuit Cardinal Behind Pope Leo’s Social Justice Revolution
From drafting Leo's first apostolic exhortation to championing migrants and the planet, Cardinal Michael Czerny is shaping the moral heart of this papacy.
I sometimes joke that I was trained by the jesuits.
As a punk rock dropout I met the bad-assed Michael Czerny who advised us about political organizing. He faced down death squads in El Salvador.
He married my wife and I.
He is the pope's right hand.
