Francis by Patrick J. Marrin for January 18, 2021

Yes, indeed, go Joe. You have a big job in front of you, but with the team you’ve assembled, I can’t think of a better way to build back better.

Go Joe. You’ve got a lot of dirt to clean up.

I think you have to be dead to be declared a saint

If thats the case, let’s hope Joe isn’t a Saint by the end of the year

The Vietnamese referred to Ho Chi Minh as “Uncle Ho” as a sign of respect. I’m referring to Biden as “Uncle Joe.”

He would probably appreciate that more than Ho.

Let’s hope Leo’s wrong insofar as he anticipates Biden’s imminent sainthood. In Roman Catholicism, the Church can recognize sainthood only if the proposed saint is dead. I’ll cross (no pun intended) my fingers and wish VIRTUAL sainthood on President Elect Biden; however, in fifty years, perhaps Leo’s good wishes will come to fruition. In the meantime, I’ll enjoy having a president who will, in his quiet moments, pray for America, rather than PREY ON AMERICA.

oh for Pete’s sake…

Indeed, all over the world!

Let’s pray he will be.

amen

In his farewell address, Trump stated, “he best is yet to come.” For once, he was right. The best is yet to come, starting about noon today.

There are also some people who are rightly called “Living Saints,” like Mother Teresa. Canonization only acknowledges after the fact that a person lived a holy life. This is Leo’s meaning. Long live Joe,
