Seasons Converging

We are in the throes of Winter. Strangely, instead of becoming warmer, temperatures in the New York Metropolitan Area are falling. January & Early February were downright balmy.
We then got a rude awakening in getting over 2 feet of snow on a Saturday Night into Sunday. Luckily, the weather warmed up to melt most of it away, but some snow is around. Ice & snow fell on Thursday & today is ice cold. But, this will come to pass, as Spring will begin on March 20th or 21st.
Another Baseball Season is upon us, as teams are playing their Florida & Arizona exhibition games in Spring Training. By next week, I will renew my M L B Game Day Audio Package. That way, I can hear Red Sox Network Broadcasts without having a struggle to find the radio signal out of Hartford, Connecticut. I will also take up the M L B TV Package on a monthly basis, so I can view N E S N out of Boston (I miss D O & The Rem Dawg ; it’ll be great hearing that duo again).
But this Season which I will talk about, transcends the other 3 Seasons. Wednesday, March 1st, 2006 was the beginning of the Lenten Season. It is a preparatory season for the Coming of The Christ, in His Passion, Death & Resurrection.
The Christ fasted for 40 Days & 40 Nights in preparation for His Public Ministry. Satan tried to tempt Him, but that never succeeded.
Our 40 Days consists of Prayer, fasting & forms of Penance, to ready us for the Easter Season in The Resurrection, Ascension to Heaven & The Sending of The Holy Spirit.
It is a Call To Change, a Call of Conversion; it’s time to “Make All Things New.”
Perform Loving, Seemingly Senseless Acts Of Kindness towards others;
Come to The Sacrament of Penance a little more-often, as You & God need to talk more-often;
“Damn It” is NOT God’s last name;
Offer up that 1 or 2 fewer beers for a wonderful cause;
Love One Another, As God Loves You.
That’s more than 4 Seasons Converging;
Peace!
