Bishop Tobin on Our "Forever Home"

"A relatively new phrase making the rounds these days is 'forever home.' It refers to a new permanent home that is provided for a pet, usually a cat or dog, which has been rescued from a shelter or some other facility. The forever home offers loving care and a better future for the newest member of the family.

"The phrase is also used sometimes to describe the adoption of a child who has been in foster care and is welcomed by a loving family into a new, permanent 'forever home.'"

In a recent commentary, Bishop Thomas J. Tobin, of the Diocese of Providence (RI), reflected on the "forever home" awaiting each of us; an opportunity that should affect the way we live here in "our temporary shelter on earth."
