As autumn approaches we can look forward to the brilliant colors of the changing leaves. The cooler air frees us from the weight of summer heat.
This season also provides us with an opportunity for reflection. We may look back at our lives seeing both joys and sorrows.
How do we feel that God was present in those moments?
What sayings of scripture touch our hearts?
Where is our compassionate and merciful God now calling us?
— Columban Fr. John Comiskey
