Good Friday thought


I need the shadows of Good Friday to appreciate the full possibilities of the Easter mystery. The most distant object I can see on a clear day is the sun. But on a dark night I can see the stars, millions of miles farther away. - (author unknown)

Lent is spent

Holy Thursday. We've come to the end of Lent, and now embark on the Triduum.

It has not been a good Lent for me.

I had a few spiritual things I wanted to do. I managed to stick to some of them (one barely), but failed in the rest.

So I come to the end of Lent feeling I've fallen short.

I even went to confession just the other day, and found myself today in a conversation slipping again on one of the things I confessed.

The Divine Mercy Novena begins tomorrow. I'll do that for the good of my soul and to make up for some of the things I felt short on this Lent.

And some of the things I fell short on, I can still do them - they are not linked to Lent.

Pax et bonum
