Today I am over at IgnatianSpirituality.com reflecting on Notre Dame Football‘s incredible playoff run alongside the start of the Church’s Jubilee Year of Hope. Aptly timed for those anticipating the Super Bowl just ahead…
Here is an excerpt:
“In 1 Peter 3:15, we read, “Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.” Perhaps this verse should add a footnote that reads, “Note well: the reason can’t be tied to a solitary outcome.” If it is, hope will remain something precarious and fleeting. If it is, hope will get harder to acquire or hold onto persistently. Instead, the reason for hope must be something bigger and long-lasting.”
I wrote this post the day before the National Championship, but I did not know then how much I would need to read these reminders now.
