Bishop Clark celebrates liturgy with college students.

“To Live Is to Change”

“To live is to change,” said John Henry Newman. And after nine years in my present job as Director of Young Adult and Campus Ministry for the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, I’m making a change. A new ministry opportunity has presented itself, which will be more ministry and evangelization and less admin.

Perspective

While the killing of the students and professors at Virginia Tech was a tragedy, there is something disproportionate about the high level of grieving being given to these victims.

Consider the military personnel who have given their lives in Afghanistan and Iraq. The president has not gone to any of their funerals. Flags have not flown at half-staff. The wounded have been dropped into the black holes of medical holding companies at places like Walter Reed and into the backlogged VA hospital system.

One soldier speaks.
