Confession is the simplest way to learn what people think about and to understand their problems or concerns. I am very happy when people view their bishop as their father. I am happy when I know that people can come to my church and find me there to tell me about their problems.

Looking upon all this glorious fruit in God’s vineyard, we turn to ourselves and to today’s Gospel, asking the question: How can I, a great sinner, in some way remain in this Divine Garden, together with the Mother of God and all the saints, together with everything which is beautiful and pure in Heaven and on Earth.
Today's Feast is the result of all that has gone before it. The purpose of all the events in Christ's life, from His Conception to the Resurrection and the Ascension and Pentecost is to make Saints. That is the purpose of the Church, to make people holy.

The most essential proposition within this philosophy is that reality itself is a “social construct,” that is, our experience of the world is formed, not by the world itself, but by the social interactions and agreements by which we agree to name and describe the world. The world is what we think it to be.

This definitive separation of wheat and chaff, this principle of a final acceptance and rejection of human decisions, is essential to the Gospel itself, because it affirms the everlasting significance of those decisions.
