How good it is for our ears to be opened once again to hear Sunday reflections on the Word of God.  Reflecting on the life of my first seminary spiritual director, I add the image of the "heart of stone" (Ezekiel 36: 24-28) to the prescribed readings.

After consulting FAQs regarding my voice recorder, it appears I have solved the software problem and will have today's homily available for you.  I'm sorry for the couple of weeks without homilies.  Tribunal demands have been heavy, and after a day's work there, I am not inclined to stay in problem-solving mode.
