Serving Christ and Connecting Catholics in Western North Carolina
Every year we enter into Lent and are called to prayer, fasting and almsgiving. We hear the words, “Repent and believe in the Gospel.” We are called to conversion, to turn our lives more and more to Christ and to others, for all are children of God. But do we really believe that? Is this an area where many of us need continuing conversion?
After a particularly enjoyable lunch round of reminiscing with one of my brothers the other day, he noted that we are of the age now that we talk about the past a whole lot more than we do the future. And he’s right. Time itself lets us know there is a whole lot more of the past to be talked about. And the future, when you come right down to it, is mostly speculation, isn’t it?
