May we never forget: God's mercy endures forever. #YearofMercy

I’ve found myself lost in great novels, but one book stays on my list – the Bible. I invite you to read it each day this #NationalBibleWeek.

In reading your Bible, you will soon find that you are the protagonist in the greatest love story ever written. #NationalBibleWeek

You'll discover in the pages of the Bible just how much God thirsts for your love and for the love of every human being. #NationalBibleWeek

We are called to be credible witnesses to God's mercy. bit.ly/2gdTPZS

The #YearofMercy has come to a close, but God’s mercy endures forever. Thank you, Pope Leo XIV for the gift of this Jubilee.

This #Thanksgiving, I am grateful to you. It has been a gift to serve you, Catholic Diocese of Arlington. May God bless you.

I am grateful for the support you have given me over my 17 years as your bishop. I will continue to pray for you daily, Catholic Diocese of Arlington.

Let us approach the Lord in prayer and lift up all affected by the deadly Oakland warehouse fire. May we also pray for their families.
