If you don't like goofey family videos, "run" for your life…
…but if you don't mind silly movies Grandpa makes for his sick grandson in the hospital, you might be able to tolerate it.

Controversial Talks in Dallas
Ran 6.2 miles this morning in Dallas. Seems that my talk on Peter and the Papacy offended Baptists last night. Tonight I speak on Mary at St. Francis of Assisi in Grapevine. Can't wait! Tomorrow I speak on the Eucharist.

For those who love Rosiland Moss
An Invitation to bid Farewell to Sister Rosalind Moss.
You're Invited to come and celebrate with us as we bid farewell to Sister Rosalind Moss, as she continues her
journey to begin her new community in Tulsa, OK.
Coming up soon! 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. on Sunday March 13th Sister Rosalind will be giving a short talk at 3:00 p.m.
We know this is such a short notice but if you are available we would love to see you at: Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church, 17 Hawkesbury Drive
Ferguson, MO 63121
For those who have asked how they might assist in any way, here are two major needs that Sister Ros mentioned in her recent email:
1. Financial support – that will enable her to buy, renovate or rent a suitable facility in Tulsa.
2. Prayer support – for the move to Tulsa, for the finding of a facility, the needed finances, and the discernment of the women who will join her in the work.
God bless you and hope to see you there!
P.S. There are many who might like to come next Sunday who may not receive this email. Please feel free to spread the word. There will be plenty of room and food! All are welcome! Those of you who live out of the St. Louis area are welcome to contact Sister Rosalind at the St. Louis address below or via email. All mail will be forwarded to Tulsa!
Our mailing address is:
Daughters of Mary, Mother of Our Hope, 4950 Heege Road, St. Louis, MO 63123
Good News; Bad News!
Good News! Just arrived at Columbus Airport to fly home after amazing day with 2,000 fired-up Catholic men with 54 priests hearing confessions. I was the first speaker and made grown men cry. Now on my way to Dallas for big parish mission.
Bad News! Grandson Dominic rushed in for emergency surgery – exploded appendix. Looks like he'll be alright, thank God, but it will take a week to recover and come home. Family all pulling together to help.

What About the Pope's Comments on the Jews and the Death of Christ
I was asked: I would like to ask you to please comment on the Popes recent statement that there is no scriptural basis that the Jews killed Jesus. http://www.examiner.com/jesus-christ-in-national/jesus-christ-not-killed-by-jews-says-pope-benedict-xvi
My answer: It is not time to comment yet. Experience tells that when we read a media review of the Pope's words it is usually twisted or sensationalized by the media. It is best to wait until the book comes out and read this passage in context.
I trust that the Pope said what is exactly correct: the Jews today, and Jews in history, are not to be held responsible for the killing of Christ. It was their leaders, the mob and the Romans at that time — the contemporary Jewish leaders and Romans did kill Christ in the first century. We must remember however that MANY Jews — including priests (Acts 6:7) — followed and believed in Christ, then and thereafter. Jews today and throughout history are obviously not morally responsible for the death of Christ any more than an American living today is personally responsible for the slavery of the 19th century.
