Spending Time and Money With Our Lord

It’s January and you’re probably thinking, as I am, about money and God. There is the VISA bill bringing remembrance of the financial cost of Christmas’s celebration of good news of great joy. There are the tax bills, which both make us ask ourselves what exactly we owe to Caesar as opposed to God and remind us of that other unpleasant certainty—death. Finally, Lent is now in view with the call for more alms as well as prayer and fasting.
