Lent: A Time of Conversion
It is a time of conversion and freedom from our selves mostly. Let us allow ourselves to be guided by a few thoughts from the once bishop of Aachen, Germany, Klaus Hemmerle (1929 – 1994).
Gospel & Inculturation
Living the Gospel to the letter illumines the diversity of cultures and restores their dignity in the truth. Klaus Hemmerle (1992-1994) was convinced of this. He spoke of it in a speech he gave when he was the bishop of Aachen Germany in 1993. Below are excerpts from that talk.

Who are the saints?
The German theologian, Klaus Hemmerle (1929 – 1994), described the profile of the saints in one of his homilies in 1993 when he was the Bishop of Aachen. He spoke about anonymous saints, mostly unknown, but certainly well known in God’s eyes.
