Today the Church brings to our attention a FACT: Life is dust, limited!
We are STAR-DUST sure! but we are more - Life is limited!
Birth and Death are the two main facts - we are between - and this is dust.
In the meantime we are blossom and decay, we are Children of God and sinners,
we are lovers and figthers, we are constructors and destroyers;
we are artists... we are... but all is DUST / STARDUST!
It's wise and rational to accept the fact that all is limited!
Exactly the exercise of this fact is LENTEN-time. To become realistic...
To learn to see things as they are...
Our balance between objective and subjective perception will help us to get a realistic world-view - but more: by this way we let the reality reveal itself.
For this - following Paulus (2 Cor 5.20) - we are Ambassadors: to bring into this world, to bring to our people the reality we have discovered, the reality revealed to us. We hope as baptised Christian we have also discovered the reality of Jesus
Christ; maybe also the reality of the Mystery of God.
It doesn't matter: remember - you are stardust
and to stardust we will return. Amen
