Time can be experienced in a number of different ways. Compare a boring task with doing something (or better still being with someone) you like!! As we age we have more memories and experience to contrast with what is happening today (?Wisdom). Our Holy Mother, The Church offers us another way of experiencing time through Daily Mass and The Divine Office. Most days we remember a particular saint or an important event in Our Lord's Life and we can try and apply lessons learnt from them to our own lives here in Littlehampton.
Our Liturgical Year ends soon and then we begin Advent (Sunday December 2nd). It would be good to take a little time to review how your year has been. Almighty God has given you another year of life and within it some good things to be thankful for. Our difficulties are more difficult to understand and appreciate but maybe we have grown in terms of patience, trust and hope.
