“I have run the race, I have kept the faith” (2 Timothy 4:7)
When Saint Paul wished to encourage discipline and steadfastness among his flock, he turned to the example of the runner. Today we wish good cheer, good health, and a fast finish to all of the marathoners. Thank you for the example you give of long practice, sacrifice, and hard won achievement!
"On behalf of the Archdiocese of Boston, I wish a happy and healthy new year to our Jewish neighbors and friends here in the Boston region. We give thanks to the Lord for the gift of your friendship. Shana Tovah! With fraternal affection, Archbishop Richard Henning."
