Dear Editor: I wanted to express my profound gratitude to you for the beautiful Editorial you wrote in the April 20 edition of The Tablet! (“Rachel’s Helpers and the Mystery of Easter Sunday,” Editor’s Space). They sent it to me on Holy Thursday and I sat in my car and cried. What a gift of the Holy Spirit this was!

Father Casey
Dear Editor: Father Anthony Casey and I enjoyed many years of friendship (“Irish-born Father Anthony Casey Was a Priest for 54 Years,” Obituaries, Oct. 2012).
Acceptable Labels
Dear Editor: Alexander Trachtenberg, who died in 1966, was an American publisher of radical political books and pamphlets. He was a longtime activist in the Socialist Party of America and in the Communist Party USA. He once said that when communism came to America it would come under the label of “progressive democracy.” It will come, he said, in labels acceptable to the American people.
K. of C. at St. John’s
Dear Editor: They chose the right person for the job: Victoria O’Keefe (“Catholic Relief Services Gets an Assist from St. John’s Campus,” April 6). She did great work at LIU and now we know that she will continue work at St. John’s University.
A Catholic Solution
Dear Editor: The public has been appalled by the fact that just seven African American students were admitted to Stuyvesant High School. A partial solution: Catholic high schools.
Anti-Catholic Hate Crimes
Dear Editor: It is astonishing some commentators have called the people in the Sri Lanka Easter massacre ‘Easter Worshippers’ (“Easter Attacks on Churches in Sri Lanka Are Tragic, but Hardly Surprising,” April 27).
Scammers
Dear Editor: Thank you for your April 20, 2019 article “Scammers in Email Pose as Pastors.” I am an officer of the Saint Andrew Avellino Friendship Club and the Broadway-Flushing Homeowners Association and I recently spoke to both groups about phone scammers.
United Through Christ
Dear Editor: I have truly enjoyed reading all of the articles celebrating Holy Week throughout the Brooklyn and Queens diocese (“Our Multi-Ethnic Diocese Is Touched by World News,” Editor’s Space, April 27).
Inspiring And Caring
Dear Editor: How wonderful to have found such an inspiring and caring person (“Parish Priest Helped Share Sweet Sally’s Sunshine,” March 30).
Legalized Murder
Dear Editor: It has been my experience that the Holy Spirit often works where and whenever it will. Sometimes, in the form of a gentle loving whisper and others in a thunderous roar.
