Hey Guys, stay on the path

Ash Wednesday 2021

Many, many years ago…I remember it as if it was yesterday…I was talking a snowy walk with my best friend and his two little boys.  As we walked, he kept looking back at his son. Every once in a while he would say, “Hey Guys, stay on the path.”  The snow and slush, the mud and ice were all around…getting off that path was fraught with peril.

Not unlike my friend, our Heavenly Father’s glance is always upon us…trying to keep us on His path.  There are many paths…but only His leads to eternal life.  Once again, Lent offers us the opportunity to hear the Father’s voice, to gaze into his loving eyes, to know the direction of our eternal call, and to embrace eternity. 

“Hey guys, stay on the path”
