Archbishop Alexander K. Sample is pleased to announce the release of his first Pastoral Letter: “A True and Living Icon”.  This Pastoral Letter reflects on the reading Pope Francis’ Apostolic Exhortation,  Amoris Laetitia, in light of Church teaching.

"There is a need in the world for Christian forgiveness, which instills hope and trust without weakening the struggle against evil. But we cannot forgive if we do not let God forgive us first, recognizing that it is we who are the object of his mercy. We will be ready to forgive the debts of others only if we become aware of the enormous debt that we ourselves have been forgiven."

St. John Paul II
