The Journey of the Cross is intended to raise our consciousness and to prepare parishioners in the Archdiocese for Reconciliation Weekend , March 19 - 20, 1999. Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Doylestown - November 28 Subsequent issues of the Voice of Your Shepherd will list the churches in which the Cross will be displayed the following month. I encourage all people of the Archdiocese to visit the Reconciliation Cross as part of your journey toward Jesus. As your Archbishop and spiritual leader, I think it is important for me to take a moment to clarify Church teaching on morality and forgiveness. Any moral crisis calls all of us to re-examine our own principles and ways of life.
Morality means choosing what is good and right over that which is evil.
Morality always seeks truth . It does not perpetuate deception. God calls on each of us, no matter our power or popularity, to live a moral life. Sometimes we are weak and we do not make the right choices. As sinners, we must seek forgiveness from God.
