How many times in your life have you wished that you could start over - go back to the beginning - make different choices - walk a different path. If we were completely honest - most of us would say yes - begin anew - chose a different career - different life - take the high road - the path less traveled. The majority - life experiences - not always as we hoped - careers that never developed the way we expected - lives that were a constant struggle - choices made - too many disappointments. At this point in the world - many world leaders - now regretting bad decisions - watching their citizens dying of an illness - earlier wrong decisions - ruining the lives of many. Doom and Gloom - Hope on the horizon.
For the past three Sundays all the Scriptures have focused on the anticipation of Easter. We have focused on water - light - new life - the baptism liturgy - celebrated with those anxiously looking forward to Baptism - Confirmation - Eucharist. The culmination at the Easter Vigil - when the Elect - would become new creations in Christ - new members in the Christian Community of the faithful. For them - us - a chance to return to Go - on the game board of life - finishing our Lenten experience - renewed - energized - filled with faith - that in the end - all will work out for the good. In anticipation of our Easter celebration - we continue our walk - with Jesus - always at our side - towards a new beginning.
