Good morning.
Well, we have completed our Easter season. We will soon again be in our Ordinary Time. This time is between the great feasts of Christmas and Easter. But this time is far from “ordinary”. This is the time we spend to reflect on the celebration of the feasts of Christmas or of Easter. It is a time to put into practice the true meaning of these hallmark celebrations of our Church. Each give us the outline of who we should be and how we should interact with others.
Today re remember a man who used his talents to bring others to the Lord. St. Philip Neri (1515-1595). Philip was known as a great confessor as he had he ability to “read” the consciences of those who came to him.
Philip would pray, “Let me get through today, and I shall not fear tomorrow.” Truly words to live by. We spend so much time worrying about what we did not do yesterday and about what tomorrow will bring. In the process we fail to see God working in the here and now of our life.
Peace and All Good,
Fr. Vinnie, fcm and he
Bros and Srs of the
Franciscan House of Prayer.
