I hear this beautiful melody in my head — from a Mass a couple of years ago — and I can still hear my son’s girlfriend’s voice singing it – with Campus Ministry – like an angel…
I’m so filled with emotion – our Pope Benedict, the Vicar of Christ, announced his resignation on Monday morning, our time. Right before Lent. I feel for him; I do, but I am sad, understandably so, for our Church losing it’s highest leader so unexpectedly…I’m on my iPhone; it’s 3:00 in the morning – I have so much more to say, but I don’t want to do a disservice to any of it.
THEN – there was a shooting in our town – 3 15 year old boys who attend our Catholic high school – I’m certain the truth will be revealed – I’m so sad for ALL involved – the boys, their families, the 18-year old shooter, the families of all…
Lent is right there…
My plans are falling into place. I love the Lenten season…just so many more variables to contend with.
The great news? Jesus is with me; He will help; He will provide…He always does.
Create in me a clean heart, oh God; a clean heart, oh God, create in me…
May the peace of our Lord Jesus be with you…
Amen!
Peace. I also love Lent and the feelings and emotions that go with it. Blessings to you and yours.
Hearing about our Pope was very emotional. I’m praying for the Church in a way I never have before.
