I agree, Abramo. I think of Christ and the woman at the well. But, this does seem to be particularly challenging. We are a Church of sinners. As sinners, we are blest with the Sacrament of Penance to put our sins behind us and allow us to move on. While it has not effected me personally, it does seem to me that Divorce and Re-marriage creates a particularly challenging dilemma. So, one makes a mistake and re-marries without first seeking an annulment. And, a new family is started. How does such an individual move on? What is our role as Catholics in a Church to help them move on?

The message of Christ is simple -- but following Christ is very difficult. It's very difficult to reject the temptations that we experience. Even priests and bishops can get confused -- having a difficult time providing difficult messages that run counter to their popularity among the masses. Let us pray that each of us improves our own ability to follow the message and Christ. And, let us pray that each of us leads by example in a way that makes Christ pleased.

I know I am a better person if I do whatever I can to support my wife and family. I know that straying from my wife into the arms of another takes me further from God -- not closer to God. I pray for those that have strayed that they may regain their footing. I pray that the Church leadership finds ways to support all of our efforts to follow the Word -- to continue on the right path -- to get back onto the right path when we get diverted.
