On display until May 11, the relic has drawn intense devotion, particularly following the recent death of Pope Francis.

After videos of people scraping their keys across certain electric vehicles, the other most popular images on social media these days seem to be those of “street preachers,” either standing in the commons of some institution of higher learning, or on a street corner.

Since he became a priest in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles 27 years ago, Father John Kyebasuuta marvels at what has changed — and what remains the same — every time he makes his annual trip to the Ugandan village where he grew up. On one trip to his hometown on Buvuma Island in Africa’s famous Lake Victoria 10 years ago, Kyebasuuta was struck by the sight of a small boy struggling with a heavy container of water that he drew from a borehole miles away to help his family.

“Modern man listens more willingly to witnesses than to teachers,” wrote St. Pope Paul VI in “Evangelii Nuntiandi” (“In Proclaiming the Gospel”). “And if he does listen to teachers, it is because they are witnesses.”Each liturgical season offers a new lens through which to encounter God in the rhythms of daily life. Advent invites us to long for light. Christmas stirs hope and the promise of new beginnings.

Golf has been a Sunday tradition in my life for a long time. Our pop never held a golf club in his hand to the best of my recollection, but his priest brother, Father John, played once a week for most of his life. When our uncle made his regular Sunday dinner visits to our house, our dad would instruct one of us to find whatever golf tournament was on TV. We were his remote control in those days.
