The Spirit is Upon Us - 3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C
From the National Parks Conservation Association Readings: http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/012719.cfm A couple of weeks ago, I had the great blessing of accompanying our eighth grade students and parents to the March for Life in Washington D.C. While we were there, we got to see many of the memorials set up to those who have served our country. We marveled at the gigantic statue of Abraham Lincoln, saw the lifelike statues at the Korean memorial, took in the many paintings and statues around the Capitol building, and walked around Mount Vernon just as George Washington did many years ago. When we go to places like this, it’s easy to become awed at the men and women who have led great lives and changed our world, but we’re also able to remember that behind these men and women, there are millions of people who, while not remembered by name or by statues, lived incredible lives for their families and communities, helping change the world in their own neighborhoods.
