"Red sky at night, sailors' delight", a familiar adage indicating tomorrow's weather, not so much used now with Doplar Radar and "Acu-weather" taking over; all still underscore our efforts to read the signs that will influence our future activities. This was as true in the time of Jesus as it is in our time and he uses it to scold the hypocrite who are so good at reading the weather signs, but not the signs of the ills in their lifestyles.
We too could take a scolding in this as well.
A recent survey has indicated a huge decline in church attendance, baptisms, first holy communions, and confirmations, provoking the question, "How did this happen?" The indicators have been there for years, but we failed to see them; now it's very late, but not too late to reverse the trend; When Chesterton was once asked "What's wrong with the world?" he answered, "I am." Yes, the reversal starts with me. How can I live my life better? What needs to be changed in me? Starting there will have an inevitable ripple effect. Let it not be just words, but deeds...TODAY!
