A metaphor for everything in life we appreciate but hesitate to express

Feeding a hungry world is Father Ennis’ lifelong calling

 

I’m still a chicken. Yesterday at Mass I thought, this is the day. This is the day as we exit the Church, I’ll see Father Ennis (as Jesus of course) and get down on my knees and kiss his feet.

But it is still too embarrassing to carry out.

All of us, this is a metaphor for everything in life we appreciate but hesitate to express our gratitude. Some day the opportunity may be gone.

Father Ennis has grown and maintained his extraordinary Passion for over 50 years.

Remarkable.

Father & Son Team Here To Change The World?

Epcot's Journey Into Your Imagination

What is incomprehensible to our human brain is the mystery of Faith. The mystery of why a Father would send his only begotten Son to save the world, knowing full well the ultimate price needing to be paid. Christmas is the beginning of God’s commitment to save the world.

What Loving Father Would Bring His Son Into The World, Knowing He Would Have To Make A Supreme Sacrifice?

Fear Is Real. Some Fear Is Minor And Some Supremely Scary. Some, Make Believe.

It’s easy, this time of year, with the parades, presents, TV specials, bowl games and parties, to remember deep down at the core of our existence is a heavenly spirit that was set free commemorated with the birth of a little boy. What I find truly frightening, is the thought of taking this for granted.

On A Scale Of 1-10

Cat's In A Cradle?
Cat's In A Cradle?

How do you measure success?

How often do you measure it?

Do you have a consistent method?

Does it even matter?

What do you do if you are doing poorly, or, really well?

How do you avoid giving up, or, getting complacent?

These are things we all need to figure out.

So last night I asked our son, On a scale of one to ten, how much do you think I love you?

His answer really surprised me.

Pray Pay Obey Catholic

Pray, Pay, Obey
Pray, Pay, Obey

What does that mean exactly? Growing up Luthern, in a small Pennsylvania town, there weren’t many Catholics. In fact, I don’t recall knowing what a Catholic was until college.

Well, life comes full circle and here I am, a devoted Catholic for over a decade. There are something like 15,000 members of our Holy Family congregation. All walks of like.

One of them, I see occasionally at Gold’s Gym. We recently had a nice conversation with these highlights:

Draw nearer to God and God will draw nearer to you. James 4:8.

True love doesnt force anything.

Greed, sloth, doubt, hypocracy – the four points in the circle surrounding the four squares.

Pay, pray and obey Catholic. This is how my friend (60-something) described himself.

God does not want good men in heaven, he wants Saints.

Gotta go. Time to work on praying, obeying, paying and demonstrating.
