Archbishop Fulton Sheen in “Seven Words of Jesus and Mary: Lessons from Cana to Calvary said, “Never forget that there are only two philosophies to rule your life: the one of the cross, which starts with the fast and ends with the feast. The other of Satan, which starts with the feast and ends with the headache.”
As we end the year, may we end with the feast, knowing that after all been said and done, God was good to us for the entire year. And as we start the new year may we start it with the full knowledge that there will crosses ahead, however carrying with Christ makes it redemptive.
Lord allow us to finish strong and grant us the grace start right. Amen.
