WASHINGTON (CNS) -- Just as people seek wise counsel in legal matters, so too should people prayerfully seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit, whom Jesus called the Counselor, said Bishop John O. Barres of Rockville Centre, New York.
He made the remarks in his homily at the 70th annual Red Mass Oct. 2 at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle in Washington.
The Mass seeks God's blessings on those involved in the administration of justice and those who work in public service.
