"In the fall, we celebrate the harvest of the summer season, but we
also begin moving toward that season of dying. The plants give up their
abundant life. The days grow shorter, and it is a time of remembering.
"These
words are from a recent article in the Josephite Harvest, the official
magazine of the Josephite religious community, and they speak to us of
the beauty and the importance of the memories we store during our
lifetimes.
"As the article points out, fall seems to be an especially fitting time to pause and reflect. . . ."
In a recent commentary, Bishop Thomas J. Tobin, of the Diocese of Providence
(RI), reflected on the importance of memories in keeping us anchored to the real world and helping us to stay connected to our loved ones.
