"I open our New Year's Eve late night Mass (11:15 PM) with the observation that we begin Mass in one year and end in the next. New Year's Eve highlights the mysterious passage between years. In a way I suppose it is no more mysterious than the passage from Thursday to Friday or from 10:00 AM to 10:01 AM.
"In one sense, nothing could be simpler than time. I might ask you, 'What time is it?' You might reply, 'It's 1:15.' Simple! But time has mysteries about it.
"What is time? Some say it's merely a measure of change. But that doesn't really make a lot of sense because change doesn't occur at a steady pace at all."
In a recent commentary, Monsignor Charles Pope (pastor of Holy Comforter-Saint Cyprian Parish,
Washington, DC) reflected on the mystery of time - and its relationship to the eternity of God.
