Can a rose bush blossom in the Fall and Winter seasons? Can people blossom in the late and "fallow" seasons of their life?
Some would say No to both questions; however, to do so would be to belie both nature and God's Saints - His holy people.
The above picture was taken last Friday evening at dusk, and although more clear rose bush pictures have been offered in the past on the blog, none testify more vividly than this one that yes, Fall is also a time to blossom and be beautiful.
As it is with the roses, so too with you and me.
Allow yourself to be cared for by Mother Church, and to be, watered, strengthened and nurtured by the sacramental ministry of the Church.
And as sure as the roses blossom late in their annual cycle of life, you and I can do so, also!
