Forgiveness. That’s what the weekend retreats offered by the nonprofit Rachel’s Vineyard are all about. The weekends provide an opportunity for post-abortive women and men to forgive themselves and others and accept God’s forgiveness in a confidential and nonjudgmental atmosphere.

My dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ, Our Holy Father, Pope Francis, has shown himself to have the heart of a missionary. Like Jesus, he teaches by word and example, keeping the poor, the troubled and the vulnerable in his heart and speech at all times.

My wife and I recently escorted our 17-year-old daughter Amanda to Washington, D. C., to begin her freshman year at Howard University. Prior to our departure for the return trip, she had never been away from us for longer than a couple of weeks, so leaving her to begin this next chapter in her life (and our lives, as well) was naturally fraught with a mixture of apprehension and excitement.

If the church excluded sinners, it would pretty much be empty, Pope Francis told thousands of people gathered for his weekly general audience.
