The following is Archbishop Naumann’s address at the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast.
Busy weekend proves a source of joy, hope
I wish you could have been with me this past weekend.
Our ‘contraceptive culture’ separates sex from love
The vision of the church accepts the reality of our human biology as designed by our Creator.
Couples urged to consider adoption, parishes urged to support them
Every child, male or female, benefits from a father’s love.
Follow the Lord’s path of servant love as an antidote to loneliness
What saddens me is how many truly lonely people there are in the world.
If you never slow down to listen, how will you hear God’s voice?
How do we recognize Our Lord’s voice in our lives?
Silence all distractions if you want to hear God’s voice
Be silent and wait to discover where his answer leads.
From the first, women have been critical to church’s mission
In the Passion narrative, Mary and the women disciples are the heroes.
Through Jesus, we receive the strength to embrace God’s will
It was a symbol reminding the individual that to follow Jesus is not for wimps.
God’s mercy is always greater than our sin
John Newton was right. God’s grace is truly amazing!
