In the middle of this weekend people of faith around the world celebrated the gift of a different spirit.

		<description><![CDATA[“Joe’s gone to his celestial home” was Fran’s straightforward, grieving comment when I called Thursday morning. Joe Martin and his uniquely infectious laugh took leave of us, and family, friends and colleagues mourned a great loss.
Joe was passionate about family, business, friendships and helping the poor at home and internationally. He made no distinction between]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week I mentioned a daily prayer pattern that recalls key moments from Jesus&#8217; life under these rubrics &#8211; joyful, luminous, sorrowful and glorious &#8220;mysteries&#8221;. Last week was &#8220;sorrowful mysteries&#8221; &#8211; this week &#8220;joyful mysteries&#8221;. 
I like the word &#8220;mystery&#8221; as descriptive of our faith journey. There is much I don&#8217;t fully grasp, but being]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The things we fear &#8211; illness, job loss, loneliness, financial reversals and relational estrangement show up in the midst of our busy, productive and rich lives. Lately I&#8217;ve seen some quiet and mysterious strength and grace from friends who&#8217;ve got these &#8220;sorrowful mysteries&#8221; on their plate.
One prayer tradition encourages daily remembrance of key moments from]]></description>
