“Tri” a little tenderness

“In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.”

How many times have you uttered those words in your life? If you are a prayerful person, then it would probably be a lot because it's how we start almost every prayer we say. And you may not even give much thought to it other than simply, well, the way you begin a prayer. Yes, we say those words every time we start a prayer, and usually a more formal prayer, like the Lord’s Prayer or Hail Mary for example, and it is even how each Mass begins.

In the beginning…

Whenever something begins, it also means that it is something new, and it can range from something small to something huge or even life changing. For example a jigsaw puzzle, which begins with the first piece. A painting begins with the first brush stroke. A song begins with the first note. A book begins on the first page. For me, a huge BEGINNING recently took place that most of you can probably relate to. A couple of weeks ago I began a new job, which is the reason why I haven’t posted anything new for a while. Being out of work is what gave me the time to start this blog in the first place and post all the things you’ll find here. I hope that over time, I can work out a schedule that includes time for this. Anyway, let's go back to the “beginning”.
