Thank the Lord for short moments of faith when we can lift a prayer to help us through.

Liturgically, we’re taking a brief breath in Ordinary Time. We’ve lived the long wait of Advent, and Christmas has been celebrated and its trappings stored away — nativity sets snuggled in attic alcoves and ornaments stacked in garage bins. I’m still polishing off the last of the holiday treats, and brushing off the chocolate crumbs from my fresh planner, I realized recently — with surprise — that Lent is just two short weeks away.
