St Fintan shows us how self-denial demonstrates less is more when it come to indulging appetites at the expense of devotion to God. Jesus, help me to temper my desires and appetites so that I can be hungry for you.

Good Morning! An achy one it is for the joints. This weather does not help. Sometimes I find my faith shallow this time of year. Sometimes it seems a struggle to just wake up and pray each morning. This is where “free will” comes in. The decision to keep going, persevere no matter what, will eventually bring you to Easter. Sometimes the road is sluggish, and we get mired down. Sometimes the road is too happy clappy, feeling more like a party than a time for contemplation. Keep going.
Know you are prayed for.
