John Michael Talbot is a renowned Catholic recording artist and is also the founder of the Hermitage community in 1980.

Below is the Homily given by Pope Benedict XVI at Yankee Stadium today. I am going to let it sink in for a few days but there is a richness of truth throughout the Homily!

I, personally, found the address profound and full of truth. The Pope is clearly adamant that unity can only be found in doctrinal truth. The theme of Christ our Hope is clearly part of the address.

Today at Mass, in the “worship aid” handout, I found this quote from Saint Cyril of Alexandria written in the fifth century A.D..
The mark of Christ’s sheep is their willingness to hear and obey, just as the sign of those who are not his is their disobedience. We take the word ‘hear’ to imply obedience to what [...]
