02.12.2023 | Ordinary Sunday

It is the sixth Sunday of Ordinary Time.  It is a day to reflect and respond to choices we are given.  The Wisdom teachings tell us the if we choose, we can act faithfully.  It is a matter of a choice.  We are reminded this week that we are free.  We are given the ability to choose for ourselves.  

How do I choose?  How do I take the time to reflect and respond to these great choices?  Temptation and freedom are cumulative.  They are a matter of getting into habits or choices of our own making.  How do I choose my habits and make my choices?  A difficult question to say the very least.  

I'm trying to live my simple, ordinary life.  It's difficult to stop a habit.  It takes time and effort and, most importantly, choice. What choice do we make? How do I reflect and respond to these choices today and in the future?  We are quickly coming into the season of Lent.  A time of reflection and choices. I hope you have a moment to sit and reflect.  A moment to slow down and simply breathe in and breath out. A moment to make choices with Wisdom. 

​Breathe.  Amen.
