On "Those Rituals"
Those "rituals" as some of the opposition calls them, I am embracing as I never thought I would. Some of those things which non-catholics criticize, catholics take for granted. I am in a very unique position.
Through my work, I have been exposed to a lot of depressed, confused, and even suicidal people. With the exception of truly psychotic people... I have found that many by observation and by their own admission are void of a positive self image and identity.
By observing such holidays, sacraments, and rites of passage, we are forming a very sense of who we are and where we belong in the world that envelopes us.
We discussed today the concept of ordinary time.....Through our dicussion one thought-To everything there truley is a season. Acceptance of this has brought alot of peace of mind. It also reinforces and reminds me that whatever I am going through has a time and it shall pass, gives me hope for the future and prepares me for the hardships.
