“Justice That Breaks the Silence”-Thursday of the Third Week of Advent & Day 9 Prayer for the End of Silence Regarding the Diocese of Amarillo’s “Tribute to Bishop Matthiesen”

Justice is not the loudest voice, but the one that finally listens. Advent does not erase our past—it teaches us how to carry it toward the Light.

Thursday of the Thirty-third Week in Ordinary Time

Two bishops on the wind-scarred ridge, one guarding silence, one crying fire. And here I stand between their shadows, praying the Spirit makes us all see—that peace is born when truth and mercy walk back together toward the same altar.
