Harbaugh told the attendees that he gave his team
members a T-shirt at the start of last year that read, “Get
comfortable being uncomfortable.”
“He didn’t realize how uncomfortable God would
make it,” Boehk told
CNS
.
Father Christopher Whatley, the Ravens’ Catholic
chaplain since Harbaugh joined the team in 2008 and
the pastor of St. Mark in Catonsville, said Harbaugh
regularly attends Mass the day of games along with
about 20 Ravens coaches and players, including kicker
Justin Tucker. Harbaugh’s parents, Jack and Jackie, are
also Catholic and attend the team Mass when they are
in town for a game, the priest said.
Father Whatley said Harbaugh is “one of the great-
est” human beings he had ever met and described him
as “highly motivated and very compassionate.”
Letter to the Bishop
To Bishop Morin
Your Excellency,
As I complete my mission here in the United
States of America, I wish to take this one last time
to thank you for your generous apostolic labors on
behalf of the Gospel in your respective Local
Churches and beyond as well as for the fraternal
solidarity you have shown in countless ways to me
as Apostolic Nuncio.
Saint Ignatius of Antioch, bishop and martyr, in
his pastoral Letter to the Christians at Ephesus,
provides food for thought not only for this early
Christian community but also, I believe, for us
today as shepherds appointed by God:
“... I am
taking the opportunity to urge you to be united in
conformity with the mind of God. For Jesus Christ,
our life, without whom we cannot live, is the mind
of the Father, just as the bishops, appointed over
the whole earth, are in conformity with the mind of
Jesus Christ .. . So in your harmony of mind and
heart the song you sing is Jesus Christ.’’
Confidently entrusting the future to the maternal
intercession and protection of Mary Immaculate,
Patroness of this great nation, I know that I can
continue to rely on your prayers and, at the same
time, assure you of mine, especially at the altar of
God.
With warmest regards, I remain,
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano
Apostolic Nuncio
There are Adoration, Bible Study, Charismatic
Renewal, Cursillo and other retreats. Paying close
attention to the preaching atMass, reading the Catechism
of the Catholic Church and Church encyclicals, having
a spiritual director -- the list is endless. Any priest
would love to have you ask what you could do to draw
closer to Christ.
Watching or waiting on the sidelines is not apostolic
activity. We take our clue
for bold prayer and action
from Jesus in today’s
Gospel. No one had to ask
him to raise the widow’s
dead son. He saw, heard
and felt the widow’s
sorrow and acted to prove
he is author of life and
conqueror of death.
In what ways do you
act to show yourself as a
disciple of the Lord?
What keeps you from
acting to help others?
What will it take for
you to pray on the spot for people in need?

St. John XXIII
�
s aide, oldest member College of
Cardinals, dies at 100
BY CAROL GLATZ
Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- The former secretary to a
saint and the oldest member of the College of Cardinals
died May 26 at the age of 100.
Italian Cardinal Loris Capovilla, who served St.
John XXIII before and after he became pope, died in
Bergamo, near Milan.
Cardinal Capovilla was born in Pontelongo, Italy, on
Oct. 14, 1915, and ordained to the priesthood in 1940.
A journalist before starting to work for the future
saint, he was an energetic and eloquent storyteller, draw-
ing on his remarkable and vividly detailed memory.
When the freshly named patriarch of Venice, Cardi-
nal Angelo Roncalli, chose 37-year-old Father Capo-
villa as his private secretary in 1953, a skeptical adviser
told the cardinal -- who would become Pope John XXIII
-- that the priest looked too sickly to bear the strain of
his new job.

But the cardinal outlived his employer by half a cen-
tury and was a dedicated custodian of his legacy, run-
ning a small museum dedicated to the saint’s memory in
the late pope’s native town of Sotto il Monte Giovanni
XXIII, near Milan.
