Msgr. Pope on Following Only One Shepherd

". . . this world has many contradictory and bewildering standards.

"One of the great human struggles is to become free from being defined by others, from being so much under the world's judgment that we lack any personal conviction or deep, stable, and serene core.

"Somewhere in the midst of the world’s demands for conformity to its ephemeral standards, each of us must come to know the man or woman that God created us to be.."

In a recent commentary, Monsignor Charles Pope (pastor of Holy Comforter-Saint Cyprian Parish, Washington, DC) reflected on our personal journey with the Lord to discover our true self.
