Don’t know why; but I thought this quote was cool. When I went to try to expand on it, I couldn’t come up with much else. So maybe one of you lovely people out there needs to hear this today:
“A sum can be put right: but only by going back till you find the error and working it afresh from that point, never by simply going on. Evil can be undone, but it cannot ‘develop’ into good. Time does not heal it”
-CS Lewis
Time heals a lot… but when we make a mistake, we gotta own up. As simple as math 🙂
Well this is totally relevant to my life right now so it was certainly put on your heart for a reason.
Praise God! Thanks, Victoria 🙂
so true! i can totally relate to this. sins of the past must be brought into the light of admission thus healing can begin.
As a youngster in Belgium,I knew Catholic processions. Also statues of Holy Mary against houses,because people believed.Some processions are still going.But more to attract visitors for bussiness’sake.My parents and neighbors had a burning candle on each side of the front-window and a flag.Here,I wanted a May procession,but did not know how. So, after Mass on Sunday I went alone, praying the rosary around a housing bloc.All others went home for dinner. 6 times I walked alone.In 2005 a mother and son came with me.The following years a few more.In 2008,a young mother took over. Now we have a fine procession in May,carrying big statue,50 people praying,singing, from one church going to an other curch.There,Maria crowning. All started by a stupid man.For many years I go and pray at a Maria-statue downtown.Some pedestrians come to touch the statue. A young man came,prayed,left. Girl (age 19 ?)knelt on the ground,prayed,left. Woman joined me in praying the rest of the rosary,left.Old woman came,prayed,left.People in cars, stopped for red light,see me.Please, dare to pray openly.I make sign of cross before any meal,in restaurant, alone or with others who don’t. Even dumb people can evangelize.(I am still a scout at 91) . Afraid ? Go with 2 or 3 together.Even if only once a year.Ashamed for other people seeing you ? God sees you !
