Seen on a Facebook post from Fr. Don McMillan at Boston College ... from Anthony Demelo, a fellow Jesuit: "Extend your arms in welcome to the future. The best is yet to come."
As we depart another year, I pray that we be wise enough to look at the future with wonder and welcome, and leave fear and doubt for the past. Our lives are propelled forward by faith, in ourselves and in God’s plan. And in fact we can safely say, as true believers, that the best is definitely yet to come.
It may not come without travail or challenge, or persecution for some. It may not come easily or when bidden or expected. But that is the very essence of faith, the belief that the best is before us and in God’s hands, no matter the circumstances. It is He who determines when our best will arrive. And it is on its way.
