The Tablet

"As we move forward, I hope to lead by action, not just by words," said Cardinal Wuerl, quoting part of what he had written in an Aug. 30 letter to priests in the archdiocese: "I ask you for prayers for me, for forgiveness for my errors in judgment, for my inadequacies, as well as for the grace to find, with you, ways of healing, ways of offering fruitful guidance in this darkness."
