December 7, 2016 -- + May the intercession of Saint Ambrose, whose words moved Saint Augustine and whose writings call the human spirit to another world, inspire you and me to renew our strength through a faith that never succumbs to spiritual weakness...so that we may grow in the understanding that the yoke of life that Jesus places on each of us is right-sized to the mission he has given to each of us uniquely, and that any burdens will be compensated with the tools and graces to accomplish and endure that mission. +
