I offer above the first eight verses of the fifth chapter of St. Paul’s letter to the Romans because, this past week, while on Retreat, I had the opportunity to spend some time in prayer with this and some other Scripture passages that speak about Hope. The opportunity of an annual Retreat is a gift the Church gives to priests, bishops, and those in consecrated life.
A medida que iba creciendo, llegué a entender lo que significaba decir: “Mis padres nacieron en Irlanda”. Ser criado por padres inmigrantes no pareció tener mucho impacto en mí, mi hermana o mi hermano, ya que crecimos en un “vecindario irlandés-italiano” en Queens en las décadas de 1970 y 1980.
As I was growing up, I eventually came to understand what it meant to say, “My parents were born in Ireland.” Being raised by immigrant parents did not seem to have much of an impact on me, my sister, or my brother as we grew up in an “Irish-Italian neighborhood” in Queens in the 1970s and ’80s.
