Fr. Paul Colloton, OSFS, on Living in the Now

"We are at the beginning of a new year. St. Francis de Sales has a prayer for this time

"'I pray that God, in his goodness, will grant you a good beginning, a better continuation, and a perfect ending to this New Year that now welcomes you!'

"I find this prayer helpful and hopeful. What more could we want than a good beginning? A good beginning gives one a fine foundation for whatever may come each day of this new year. . . ."

In a recent commentary, Father Paul Colloton, OSFS (Superior, De Sales Centre Oblate Residence, Childs, MD), reflected on the importance of a good beginning and living in the now, in the present.
