I was rather impressed with Cardinal Dolan's statement:
Quote
... I stand before you this morning to say simply: first things first. We gather as disciples of, as friends of, as believers in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, "the Way, the Truth and the Life," who exhorted us to "seek first the Kingdom of God."

We cannot engage culture unless we let Him first engage us; we cannot dialogue with others unless we first dialogue with Him; we cannot challenge unless we first let Him challenge us.
I don't know about everyone, but I think this is the kind of thing we need to hear!

"First Things First!" – From the President, A Call for Penance [whispersintheloggia.blogspot.com]
