 From our Clergy Team Last Saturday morning, I awoke to the most brilliant sunshine gleaming through my window and it got me thinking about the importance of appreciating God’s grace and goodness in the simple things: the beauty of creation, a kind smile or uplifting conversation, a nice meal with family or friends, a favorite place to visit, the list goes on and on. I don’t know about you, but sometimes I overlook these things as encounters with the divine love of God because I expect Him to be at work in BIG andboldways. I expect Him to send me an overwhelming and powerful sign that He loves me and I end up missing Him in the many and varied and constant ways He pours His goodness out to me.  At the same time, we all know the old saying that, “the devil is in the details.” We can tend to have the big things in our lives under control M “thou shalt not kill” and “thou shalt not steal” M but we find ourselves constantly caught up in the same little distractions and irritations that, when they build up, can blind us to the love of God in world. If I sit for a few minutes the “little things” become too many to count. Why was I impatient in this situation? Why did I fail to be compassionate in this encounter? How could I not love my neighbor in their moment of need? If our shortcomings and sins tend not to be BIG and bold they instead gnaw at our hearts as we seek to God’s grace to lift us up and his strength to heal us.  As we begin our 40day journey through Lent this week I want to encourage us, you and me alike, to think about the little things in our lives. How can our Lenten habits of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving help us to open our eyes so that we may see God’s work more clearly in the world around us? At the same time, how can we honestly look at our hearts, and through these same habits help us to work to overcome the little things that burden our hearts? Most especially, how can we open our hearts in encouragement of each other during these days of Lent, so that we can keep each other inspired and motivated to prepare our hearts anew for the gift of eternal life we will celebrate at Easter?  I so look forward to making this journey with you this Lent and I can’t wait to see how my heart will be inspired through you. In addition, please make sure you take a minute to look at the Lenten activities page and avail yourself to at least one of the many opportunities for prayer and spiritual growth that will be offered in the Shrines of Pittsburgh this Lent. May God bless us as we follow the way of the cross and journey with him to kingdom.  END OF YEAR STEWARDSHIP STATEMENTS  If you would like to receive a statement outlining your stewardship to your parish in 2019, please contact the parish office so that one can be prepared and mailed to you. Thank you for your continued generosity to your parish.
