He has many great ones, on faith, other religions, evil, etc. Rabbis’ (starting with Jesus) have a wonderful way with parables and stories and sometimes can get something that seems complicated across in a much more simple way.
He had this recently on the Lord’s Prayer

I also wrote to him last year with a quote from Fr.B Groechel about Einstein. This is an excerpt he used to follow up that column. :
Finally, some comments on my recent reference to Einstein and religion elicited this response from a reader:
"The most beautiful and most profound emotion we can experience is the sensation of the mystical. It is the sower of all true science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their most primitive forms – this knowledge, this feeling is at the center of true religiousness.
“‘My religion,’ Einstein said, ‘consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble minds. That deeply emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God.’” (from “The Universe and Dr. Einstein,” by Lincoln Barnett) – Fr. B., via
godsquadquestion@aol.com. – to which I say, Amen!
