The longer God gives us to live, the longer are the memories formed - that's certainly a given....the startling thing about some memories is the effect they have on one's present-day emotions -- the unpleasant memories may come tinged with sadness or even anger -- reconciliation, when a soul is ready to forgive, is a heavenly blessing and the act of forgiveness is stimulated by the grace of God.
I was born in Chicago, educated at Notre Dame and Oxford, spent 13 years teaching at Catholic High School in Montgomery, AL, did my seminary time in Rome, was ordained in Mobile, and currently have served 4 parishes in 20 years. I am also the spiritual director for our Archdiocesan Cursillo and the Ecumenical/Inter-Faith Officer for the Archdiocese.
