NOTES AND QUOTE
SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT
Life is very simple: we are living in a world that is absolutely
transparent to God and God is shining through it all the time. This is
not a fable or a nice story. It is true. God manifests himself
everywhere, in every thing, in people and in things and in nature and in
events. You cannot be without God. It’s impossible. Simply impossible.
(Thomas Merton)
Perhaps we should remember that at the
Transfiguration God’s voice was heard from the cloud. And today too it
is in the clouds and mists of life that we most closely approach God.
Religion is not an answer book but an invitation to search for God in
the complications, scandals, sorrows, disappointments and roughness of
life. Thank God that he is also there in our moments of joy.
(Eileen Morin)
The RCIA has a penitential rite that may be celebrated today with candidates for full communion with the Catholic Church and with baptised but uncatechised adults preparing for confirmation and Eucharist. It is found at numbers 459-472.
