Blizzard

Today is a blizzard.  People ought to be staying at home.  But say you thought there was a sale at your favorite store, a one day only sale.  Would you go out in the storm?  Many people would, if the sale is important enough for them.  We had mass today.  People came out in the storm for mass.  Was it for my pithy homily? No!  They hungered for the Eucharist.  It is a hunger, a desire, a special need that would make us come out in bad weather.  These church people are crazy for driving in this weather.  Saints were kind of crazy too.  Love can do that to us.
