Feast of the Baptism of the Lord
Ordinary Time
Dear sisters and brothers in Christ,
We come to the end of the Christmas season. Ordinary time beings this Monday. In these tumultuous times, it seems a bit dissonant to say that we are entering ordinary times. However, we Christians, never lose hope, serene joy, or inner peace, for we know that beyond any personal difficulties of the moment or the ebb and flow of history, the Lord is at our side. We are not a bunch of optimistic persons. Our hope is a virtue rooted in our encounter with the Risen Christ. We cultivate hope in our worship of the true God, One and Three, Incarnate, present in the Eucharist.
At any moment, but especially in times of tribulation, we must deepen our life of prayer in all its forms, most of all our prayer of adoration to God. Pope Francis insists and reminds us frequently of the urgent need to spend time in adoration. He did it again this past week. I share with you a fragment of the Pope’s very beautiful and enlightening homily.
