I'll never forget a Lenten homily I watched given by Cdl Cupich. My daughter was in the hospital with a serious infection, and I was the only parent allowed to stay with her because of COVID protocols still in effect. My wife was forced to mainly watch her daughter (hopefully, at the time) get better via FaceTime. We had several other young children at home that she was caring for, and I was working as the sole-income producing parent (remotely in a hospital room). Needless to say, it was a very traumatic time for our family. ANYWAY, I remember the homily the good Cardinal gave that Sunday about the Father's love for us and Jesus's exile in the desert as our Lenten experience. It gave me profound grace at a time when I needed it, and I really could sense he was speaking from a heart truly believed.
I haven't shared that story very often, but I'm eternally grateful to the Cardinal for those words, regardless of his ideology or theology or whatever. May God abundantly bless him on his birthday!
