Serving Christ and Connecting Catholics in Western North Carolina
Lent is about changing the trajectory of our lives. We try to nudge our life toward God – toward love, kindness and generosity. In Scripture, we repeatedly see tax collectors and sinners offered the chance to repent and change their ways. There’s truth in the old saying “It doesn’t matter where you’ve been, only where you’re going.” The question is not: What did I accomplish yesterday? Rather: What is the Lord asking of me today?
I had the privilege of attending Opera Carolina’s recent production of “Suor Angelica” by Giacomo Puccini, and I now understand why Puccini’s life changed after he saw his first opera. This is an art form that touches the soul and makes you feel alive.
