We strive to get a hit every time we step up to the plate (yes, this is a baseball metaphor). We start every day with good intentions, just like we started this Lenten season. It’s a long season though. Not every day is a win. It’s not about winning every day, it’s about striving to achieve more. Knowing that a great record in baseball is a hit 3 out of 10 times, we step up to conquer the intimidation of a fast moving hardball and our hit lands us safely on base.
But being safe on base isn’t the goal, Brothers, now is it?
One more week, my Brothers (and sisters in Christ). One more week to round the bases and head for home, for the Glory of God’s loving embrace, to celebrate Easter with him. Letting up the pace or slowing down could be disastrous. Feeling “safe” has no place here, yet. There is no glory being partway thru Lent.
Strengthen your Lenten commitment (there’s still time for reconciliation), listen for the whisper of the Lord’s guidance in your heart (there’s still time to join the Knights as a Lenten commitment), and strive mightily to make it home safely.
Thank you for all who committed to the MI Tootsie Roll Drive this weekend. Whether you donated your time or money, you’ve helped make a difference in the lives of those more challenged than we are.
Vivat Jesus,
Bryan Born, Grand Knight
