Don't let it end, right?
This is exactly why my Living the Eucharist Thursday night faith-sharing group has decided to keep meeting (on a less frequent basis) - and I couldn't be more excited about this opportunity. I was discussing with one of the other women before our meeting started about how we really did get a solid group of people together - everyone was so open, vulnerable, knowledgeable, and honest. Our meetings have been refreshing and hope-giving, a real highlight to my weeks of Lent. Tonight, I truly felt myself filled with gratitude for my group members.
And the idea of keeping our group going serves as a reminder that my Lenten promises and actions do not need to end as this season comes to a close. In fact, as my students were reminded at their retreat this morning, we should all look for ways to keep our Lenten promises going throughout the year to help us continue to grow closer to God.
God is good...all the time...
Amen.
"I have no idea where I am going; I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself...But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope that I have that desire in all that I am doing. And I know that if I do this, you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always..." -Thomas Merton
I have come to fall in love with teaching in Catholic schools. What are YOU in love with?...
