Although this article was published in 2011 about Fr. Peter it rings true today about the good people of New York, as well as Americans. His comment, “More than anything, this is still a city of hope” I believe can be expanded to all of America. Unfortunately, his reference to the bickering in Washington rings so true even today.
After a week of some very sad news and the terrible slaughter of Jews in their synagogue for Shabbat services lets take Fr. Peter’s faith and hope in all people working for the common good across America.
