Thankful to complete the dash day by day

The Roman Catholic Lectionary for today inspired Fr Rob to reflect on the “dash” in his homily this morning. The “dash” can be found on older tombstones in the cemetery.” Born 1950-Died 2011” is the use of the “dash” which was his theme. We live the “dash”. Ezekiel reveals God’s plan for our direction during this short time over which we learn we do not have much control. The “plan” is written in our heart. For those times when we ditch the plan, the psalmist offers the most reconciliatory words in the Bible to bring us back. We are invited to the Great Feast described in the parable Jesus tells in Matthew’s gospel. No excuses! We cannot deserve the Feast. We can be thankful today that the indwelling Spirit resonates with the Divine Presence to move us all the “dash” intimate with Him!
