02/22/26 Autobiography: Co-Author

Homily from the First Sunday of Lent.

Every story has a beginning.

As we begin Lent, we are faced with the question: If I live the next 25 years of my life the way I've lived the past seven days, where will I end up? Who will I become? We are writing our life story with every choice that we make. Are we writing in rebellion? Or with God as the Co-Author?
