Passion Sunday Was?

Passion?
Passion?

On a scale of 1 to 10, how consciously aware of each passing moment are you?

It’s challenging isn’t it?

To be fully present. All of the time.

As we were driving to Church yesterday morning, I told Cheryl that parking will be a challenge.

Why?

Because yesterday was Passion Sunday.

But I was wrong.

The parking lot was not overflowing.

There was no standing room only.

Vacant parking spaces.

(Those attending held a palm and waved it back and forth as the alter boys and alter girls, Eucharistic Ministers, the Lectors, the Deacon, and the Priest proceeded through the congregation)

And there was something else.

Vacant seats.

Life is hard. Time marches on.

Fit For A King?

It’s Coming

In our busy world, important things are easy to overlook. Not because we are bad people, but because we have so much to do:

  • Work
  • Bills
  • Serve
  • Fix
  • Prepare
  • Eat
  • Worry
  • Sleep
  • Exercise
  • Read
  • Drive
  • Socialize
  • Church
  • School
  • Garden
  • Clean
  • Shower
  • Shop

And then, out of nowhere, an old friend knocks on our door. We answer the door, but don’t recognize the stranger.

It’s been a year.

Easter.

Ash Wednesday And Lent

Ash Wednesday and Lent.

Happens year after year around this time.

How many of us forgot?

How many of us didn’t forget, but were simply “going through the motions”?

Easter is the most important day in the life of a Christian.

Christmas is critical, but loses all meaning without Easter.

You have thought of that, right?

Happy Easter
