The Pope Meets Patrick & Philip Jenkins

Our Blogger

Fr. Joseph Jenkins
The blog header depicts an important and yet mis-understood New Testament scene, Jesus flogging the money-changers out of the temple. I selected it because the faith that gives us consolation can also make us very uncomfortable. Both Divine Mercy and Divine Justice meet in Jesus. Priests are ministers of reconciliation, but never at the cost of truth. In or out of season, we must be courageous in preaching and living out the Gospel of Life. The title of my blog is a play on words, not Flogger Priest but Blogger Priest.

The Pope Meets Patrick & Philip Jenkins

Posted on September 30, 2015 by Father Joe

This is my current screen saver on my computer. It is a video grab photo of my nephews Patrick and Philip (the two African-American boys) having a close encounter with Pope Francis at the US Nunciature. Both were touched, blessed and one got his head rubbed! It was carried on ABC News and on C-SPAN. 12034215_10153197439093435_4606405033964439681_o
