Friday 27th week of Ordinary Time

Feast of Pope John XXIII

Pope John XXIII was Pope at a time when the Church and Society were in great change. 

The Second Vatican Council had begun and the Civil rights movement was just beginning

And all of it would lead to the tumultuous 1960’s. 

And in the face of such change and upheaval,

Pope John would say,

“See everything, overlook a great deal, correct a little.”

There is really very little that one person, even a Pope can do. 

So in the face of the changes taking place in our world,

Pope John gives us the same advice,

“See everything, overlook a great deal, and correct a little.”

And leave the rest to God!
