Always in our prayers! With the advent of September many of us come to the end of holidays. A new school year unfolds, new cycles in at work start, and there is harvest to collect. These changes of routine are almost instinctual, and we don’t think twice about them. It is just what one does, as one has ever done.

I was at the Archdiocese of Canada Assembly in July 2017 where Fr Philip Speranza spoke to us. I was deeply moved by his message then, and even more so now during the crisis we are facing during these days.

Fr Philip speaks of giving thanks to God, even for those things that bring suffering and loss, even through “clenched teeth.”

Well, I can’t avoid talking about this Covid19 outbreak, especially since it has replaced the weather as the number one topic of choice. So here are a few thoughts.

Although January 1st is the beginning of a new calendar year, there doesn't seem to be anything that really denotes that. After all nothing really changes with the new year; it is as dark and cold on January 1st as it is on December 31st. This being said, everything changes when September 1st comes along.
