Ha. Father Tom gave a homily after the readings yesterday that was on target. It was the reading from the Acts of the Apostles where the Pharisees are arguing that Gentiles becoming Christians need to be circumcised because that's what they always had done. So often, and we've all done it, we say to ourselves, "but this is how we've always done it." He said that Jesus came to teach about relationship, not about the law. We are creatures of habit, BUT, as Fr. Tom pointed out, being open to change allows to grow and gives us spiritual life.
This is SO darn true! Love it!
