This is one of the reasons I love Papa Ratzinger:

The story of Mary of Magdala recalls to us a fundamental truth: a disciple of Christ is whoever, in the human experience of weakness, has the humility to ask for help, who is helped by Him to heal, and who is then led to follow Him closely, becoming a witness to the power of His merciful love, which is stronger than sin or death.
Still in Pittsburgh with Dayv sitting on the couch with my laptop while he and his “friend” are sitting at the table on their laptops playing WoW. Reminds me of Michael sitting in his room playing WoW while his girlfriend was sitting on his bed…
In other news, this past weekend has been magnificent. Got a chance to hang out with Brian and Krissy Thursday night, Ducky on Friday, Shawn, Jay, Jessie, Clay & Alan Saturday evening before heading home later this evening. The wedding was beautiful–there’s nothing more I love than Catholic weddings–and the reception was fun, despite not knowing anyone there. I made some great new friends, even Lindsay who tried to get me to dance all evening 
-sigh- I really need to get out to Pittsburgh more often…
