Archbishop Charles J. Chaput of Philadelphia encouraged the people of his archdiocese to allow their hearts to burn with love for Christ as they work to renew the Church in the coming year.
“Building or rebuilding anything of value always takes effort,” he said in a Jan. 5 online column.
The archbishop's remarks will become a weekly feature on the site Catholicphilly.com, which he said will allow him to discuss “the life we share as a Church in a more direct, immediate way.”
Archbishop Chaput said that the greatest challenge faced by the archdiocese in 2012 will not be legal or financial, but pastoral.
