Another Month

The last day of September, a month in which we saw the official end of summer and beginning of Autumn, one tragedy after another, and the uplifting visit of Pope Francis.  Tomorrow, we begin the month of the Holy Rosary.  How can we ever say we are bored?   There's always something or someone to stir the pot.  We remember St. Jerome today and his Vulgate translation of the Bible which too persistence and patience as well as a love for the Word of God. 
Perhaps we can find some time to reflect on the past month, God's Word, and decide to use the Rosary to find grace, peace, and inspiration to live the Word, not just give it lip service.  It's available in many translations which help enhance its meaning and connection to our lives.  It's simpler than we think...all we need to do is pray for the guidance of the Holy Spirit and open up the Bible to where we left off, or to where the Spirit leads us.  Each new month is an indication of the passage of time, and a call to use whatever time we have to prepare our hearts to love God more completely and to serve him by serving our neighbor.
