Archdiocese of Boston

FROM THE PASTOR'S DESK...

Paul tells us this week that 'the time is running out." And so it is, for…who can't say: "I don't know where the time goes!" Time is something that slips through our fingers faster and faster each day, especially as we get older. Time, most days, is a scarce commodity. So Paul's statement today hits the nail on the head. "Time is running out." This being said, Paul encourages us to prioritize. We can do this only if we deliberately slow ourselves down. Take five minute breaks throughout the day and reflect on what's going on. Am I using my time wisely? Or can I use it better? For instance, have I talked with the Lord today? Or have I been too busy. Have I loved my spouse and kids today? Or have I been too busy. Have I helped someone today? Or have I been too busy. Finally, have I had a good laugh today? Or have I been too busy. Time is a gift from the Lord. The wise person uses it "wisely."
--Peace, Fr. Quinn
