A Passion to Rebuild
Sunday, March 17, 2013 at 3:56PM It's a new time in our Church. It's a new time for passion as Easter and spring approach. Fr. Dan shares a reflection inviting us to walk from our solitudes into communion with each other. We should acknowledge the pain in our life, Church or economy, but the Lord invites us to rebuild our homes -- like St. Francis and Pope Francis have invited us -- walking in a world with the light of Christ.

Isiah 43: 16-21
Thus says the LORD,
who opens a way in the sea
and a path in the mighty waters,
who leads out chariots and horsemen,
a powerful army,
till they lie prostrate together, never to rise,
snuffed out and quenched like a wick.
Remember not the events of the past,
the things of long ago consider not;
see, I am doing something new!
Now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
In the desert I make a way,
in the wasteland, rivers.
Wild beasts honor me,
jackals and ostriches,
for I put water in the desert
and rivers in the wasteland
for my chosen people to drink,
the people whom I formed for myself,
that they might announce my praise.

A great post and sharing! Thanks Fr. Dan!
I'm so glad I stumbled upon this today. It's so difficult sometimes not to harden... But how much we miss when we do. Thank you so much for this. I miss you all up there and You are all in my prayers.
