SOURCE: By Fr. Gerald E. Murray, The Catholic Thing, December 5, 2024
The Rev. Gerald E. Murray, J.C.D. is a canon lawyer and the pastor of Holy Family Church in New York City. His new book (with Diane Montagna), Calming the Storm: Navigating the Crises Facing the Catholic Church and Society, is now available.
Note: Our colleague Fr. Gerald Murray tells a story today that we hear all too rarely: the decades of satisfaction and enjoyment that priests, religious, and laypeople experience by living lives faithful to Catholic truth. There are many challenges to such lives today, both outside and inside the Church. But it’s by persisting in the hope of better days that we will keep the Faith alive in our time – and beyond. At The Catholic Thing, we’re committed to staying in that fight and not growing weary despite the struggles. I’m quite sure that you, our readers, come here regularly because you share that perspective. Which is why I feel confident in asking you to show that commitment by supporting our work. The harvest could be great if the workers can stay in the field. Please, don’t delay. Support The Catholic Thing today. – Robert Royal
