Mea culpa, which at the moment is Latin for it’s not really my fault – except I suppose it is. The tardiness of This Rock, I mean. If I can offer an excuse I must lay the blame on our preparations for the Pope’s visit in August and on a new but recalcitrant computer that refused to operate the one program required to compose the magazine. (Ah, technology!) This combination has put us far behind, but we’re catching up and appreciate our subscribers’ patience, presuming there is some left.
Now, on to a more enjoyable topic. We welcome to our staff two new employees, Christine Sperrazzo, whose voice you will hear when you first call us, and James Akin, a convert from the "Bible Christianity" practiced in his native Arkansas. Christine is helping us with duties both clerical and "people-oriented," while James is being submerged in our library and research files, having been assigned the task of completing a major supplement to our set of tracts.
This seems as good an opportunity as any to ask you, in your kindness, to pray that we may augment our staff with just the right people: solid, knowledgeable Catholics who not only live the faith, but want to pass it along and, mirabile dictu, have the talents to do that. Somewhere out there are just the people we need. Please ask the Lord to let us learn about them.
