Yesterday I read about of a young girl who was captivated by the story of Jonah being swallowed by the whale and then spending three days and three nights in its belly.
During this Lenten Season, we're reminded of how important it is to be open to God's grace, whether in a sign, biblical passage or parable, or a Sacrament such as the Eucharist or Confession.
I think the older we get, the easier it is to limit our ability to receive God's signs that can be so subtle, we can fly right past them.
Pass along the faith to a young person and let their openness to God's way inspire you all the more; so that our hearts always remain young enough to believe.
May God bless you and your families this holy day!
