Just a short thought this evening. It's Tuesday, a week or so from Mardi Gras. The pre-Lenten revelry is going full swing in my home city of New Orleans; one might never suspect that at its roots is a religious theme. Except Mardi Gras is the last precursor to a time of preparation and introspection that culminates in the Easter miracle of Christ risen. But then looking at the spectrum of colors projected on this church skylight wall, one would not readily suspect that the colors of life are there either. Apart from the light of God's love shining through. May that light and that love shine, and wherever we may be, colour our world in all its richness and beauty.
