My most sincere prayers for Megan as she grieves for her brother. As a person who has grieved to some degree for many years, I understand both her pain and her chagrin that the agony of loss remains. It is a small thing to say that she will heal in time, but at least the sharpness of her loss will become less keen. May He wrap her in His Hands and Comfort her with His Spirit.

Thanks for adding me to your list. It is a very sad time now for Catholics. I feel especially sad for children who watch the evening news and have come to equate Catholic priests with monsters. As adults we have some perspective, but children may come to question Catholicism as a whole.

Parents must explain to their children the difference between the faith and the failings of men. To those who are thinking of leaving the Church, I would merely ask: when Clinton was President, did you renounce your citizenship?
