Non Scholae Sed Vitae
Dear Editor: “Not for school, but for Life,” is the motto of my alma mater Archbishop Molloy H.S., Briarwood. I graduated in 1973. Our state’s governor graduated in 1975. We both walked the same halls, but we must have heard different calls.
Making Sense of Bioethics
Dear Editor: I recently searched the Tablet website for columns by Father Tadeusz Pacholczyk and was surprised to see that none have been printed since 2016. Considering all that New York is dealing with, we need the kind of clear teaching Father Pacholczyk provides in his columns.

Women Theologians
Dear Editor: I’m so happy to hear about this event (“Theologian Panelists Discuss Women’s Influence On Church,” March 16). I wish I had known about it beforehand so that I could have attended.

Prayers for the Cardinal
Last week, while presiding at the Stations of the Cross in his Co-Cathedral in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, the Cardinal-Archbishop of Galveston-Houston, Daniel DiNardo, who is also the President of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, suffered a stroke.
Violence in New Zealand
The violence that occurred in Christchurch, New Zealand, against worshippers in a mosque, orchestrated by an individual, a true domestic terrorist, who was a white supremacist, leaving behind a lengthy manifesto, was truly horrific.
The All-Powerful God Will Never Fail His People
One of the ways we can produce good fruit is by calling on the name of the Lord. In my own prayer, my most common way of referring to God is by saying “Lord.” “Lord, I adore you, Lord, I praise you, Lord, I worship you, Lord, I love you.”
