Archdiocesan priests, seminarians assist at Mass
The Yankees’ dugout served as their vestibule.
That’s where local seminarians Christopher Rhodes and Matthew
Hardesty were standing when the Holy Father’s popemobile arrived.
They were within reach of the vehicle, they said.
“He was two feet away. We were calling, ‘Papa! Papa!’ and he looked
down and a huge smile came over his face,” said Hardesty. “We were
waving and shouting at him. We were overcome by that. I had tears
in my eyes. We felt distinctly and individually blessed by God.” |

In honor of Thomas Merton, discover your epiphany
and share your vision with others
Merton saw the spark of the divine in you. Like a
loving father, he saw you as you really are. He saw the depths that
you have but don’t share. Like a loving father, he saw your secret
beauty that you sometimes don’t believe yourself. If you really
think about it, what a grace-filled blessing this vision is.
In honor of Thomas Merton and his vision, we ask that you see
yourself as Merton saw you. Discover your epiphany. Once you have
this vision, we ask that you share it. Share it with your loved
ones; share it with your neighbors or friends; share it with
members of your church.
Share it with us. Find that “spark of divinity,” that moment of
transformation, that powerful event that changed you, and then
share it with the world as Father Louis did. |
