“Listening in on many a tabletalk conversation in recent weeks I’ve noted some apprehension over the prospects for this new year. Though there are indications that there may be an economic upturn (calculated just in time to sway votes) there is concern over what may befall us in the aftermath of that surge. (I speak here about economics, a subject I would best keep silence about, no doubt.) The fears I hear expressed however have not so much to do with financial security as with things of greater concern. While there has always been talk of how deserving we are of God’s chastisements – doubtless true – there is worry that we now may be reaching the limits of God’s patience and headed for a time of real trial.”
In a recent post, Diane M. Korzeniewski, OCDS, offered the New Year’s Day homily of Father Eduard Perrone, pastor of Assumption Grotto, a parish in Detroit, MI. In his homily Fr. Perrone offered a strong recommendation for a new year’s resolution – performing one extra act of penance each week.
