We have to stop ourselves short when we start comparing ourselves with our friends and look with envy at how successful they’ve become. Better to remember them as we knew them, young and buffed and funloving. An old friend sent me this Christmas card recently, and i was pleased to see how high His Eminence had risen although when i knew him here in the Castro twenty years ago he was still at the party when it came time for mass on Sunday morning.
