Friday of Fourth Week of Lent

In the movie The Way, Emilio Estevez’s character Daniel says to his father, “You don’t choose a life – you live one.” So many times, we are like Daniel’s father. We think that we’re the ones who have the final say in what happens in our lives. We want to control our futures and prevent bad things from happening to us. In short, we want things do go our way. The only problem is that that’s not how life works. We need to do things His way, not our way. After all, He is “the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” We need to be like Daniel and remember that all we can really do is live the life that He has created for us. This Lent, let’s try to remember the Way of the Cross let it shape our lives.
