If the late Bishop David O’Connell had anything to say to his former parishioners at a recent Sunday Mass at St. Frances Xavier Cabrini Church in South LA, the words were on the white posterboards held by several parishioners during the entrance procession.
“Help me love my family more and more,” read one of the signs in Spanish. “Help me to follow you more closely.”
“Make yourself present in me, stay with me,” read another. “Come into my heart, come today into my life.”
