  <description>On June 5, Archbishop Lucas led a special hour of prayer for vocations at St. Cecilia Cathedral—an hour which was intentionally planned for what would otherwise have been the annual Mass of Ordination. This year, however, there were no men to be ordained.

  <itunes:subtitle>So often it seems we’re looking across a divide; the devil is at work tempting us to think that the divide is good. Whether the divide is racial or political, we’re tempted to think that &lt;i&gt;that&lt;/i&gt; person is bad and not worthy of our respect. Racism is a sin that damages the human family.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>Most Rev. George J. Lucas, Archbishop of Omaha, discusses the Christian response to racism, hate speech, and similar forms of division in light of recent events in Charlottesville and elsewhere.
"The Gospel has a response that is not simply reaction, but it's the response of the Gospel through the ages. It's important at this particular moment in our country that we focus the truth of the Gospel on this particular challenge."
