Vacation has begun, perhaps on a more somber note than in past years. We are filled with sorrow for those who have died in CT. We read about the heroism, but also about the lives that have been lost. Is it important to know why? That is a question to ponder.
Sadness also in the remembering of Helen, who passed away recently and whose memorial mass was today.
But, there is joy, as we light the pink candle of Advent, we are told to rejoice. For it is the very word of Gaudete Sunday, Latin for rejoice. A savior is near, born to save the world, born to set all people free. And perhaps in his birth, some may find the consolation they need in this time of tragedy.
