A number of readers have asked for access to past "Word" columns. So every week on "The Good Word," we will post America’s "Word" column for the upcoming Sunday, in addition to past columns for the same cycle of readings. Here are Fr. Dan Harrington’s reflections on Trinity Sunday. Dianne Bergant’s column from 2004 can be found here. And here is Fr. John R. Donahue’s column from 2001. Check back every week for access to past Word columns, as well as daily commentary from our roster of bloggers. And we hope you’ll also join the conversation by posting comments below.
