Here are excerpts from the Pope’s homily Saturday at St. Patrick’s Cathedral –

MOVING ST. PAT’S HOMILY – New York Post

I join you in praying that this will be a time of purification for each and every particular church and religious community, and a time for healing. May our Lord Jesus Christ grant the Church in America a renewed sense of unity and purpose, as all – bishops, clergy, religious and laity – move forward in hope, in love for the truth and for one another.

* The spires of St. Patrick’s Cathedral are dwarfed by the skyscrapers of the Manhattan skyline, yet in the heart of this busy metropolis, they are a vivid reminder of the constant yearning of the human spirit to rise to God.
