My heart sank as I hung up a new calendar and pondered the fact that we had just begun the month of January. There is still a great deal of winter to endure. (Sigh!) A couple of days ago I drove past this small lake (pictured above) and realized that the cold temperatures were not my imagination. It has been cold for so long that ice fishing is now a thing.
What warms my heart? It would warm my heart to be able to go back into parishes to preach, teach, lead retreats and days of recollection. How long has it been since I was able to preach a three night parish mission? It seems like it has been forever.
I don't know when the pandemic restrictions will be relaxed to the point where we can once again do these things. However, I want the pastors and parish leadership to know that I am available for the Lenten season if it is permissible by that point.
"Our hearts are restless O Lord, until they rest in Thee."
