The day after a big holiday is a challenge. Fatigue, necessary chores, and "clean up" can force the joy of the celebration into the abyss of "history". Catching up and moving ahead can blunt the joy of the holiday. Taking time to remember, to talk to family and friends about it can keep it alive for awhile until we come to the next "big day", and happily, there always seems to be one on the horizon.
So we proceed in our Liturgical Year through the final days of reflection on "the last things" and ready ourselves for a new beginning: Advent. Four wonderful weeks of preparation for the Nativity of the Lord. All have their proper place and all, every second, can be a rich experience. May we find a way to blend our memories of the past with our experience of the present and anticipation of the future. God is with us at every moment, each one is holy and enriching. May we be attentive to what is being GIFTED to us right now!
