You know what was really beautiful? Seeing the shining eyes and the flashing dimples of my 7-year-old as he emerged from the confessional on Saturday evening. What was funny was the way he then confided to me—in hushed whispers—that “Father said he likes emptying the dishwasher!” My son seemed so surprised by this.
Myself, I was smiling to reflect that if a bad attitude over household chores was the biggest sin my son could think of…well, then, he’s ready for Easter.
I’m not ready, however. I am a bigger fish than that.
For this reason I am going to say goodbye—temporarily!—to my online distractions and say “Here I am, Lord” with greater frequency. I can do this! I can step away from the screen and I can listen.
Have a blessed, beautiful and holy Holy Week.
We are loved so much!
How can we thank Him?
