Kate Aitchison, mother of 4 active children, elicits how Newman's 1838 Easter Sunday sermon sheds light on progressing in the spiritual life during life's transitions. Kate finds Newman's direction helpful: Christ first meet us in that hard place (Lent) before we can enjoy Him in festival (Easter). By walking with Christ during the vicissitudes of life we discover that God has something broader and better for us than any worldly misdirected gain that we perceive as helpful to our own end. Rather, with the glory of God as our aim we find abundant fruits in the festival.
As an aside, it is good to note that Kate's husband, Greg, has an extraordinary gift in forming Catholic school curriculum. If you are active in Catholic education and need a classroom teaching aid that more deeply engages students in their faith go to www.catholicreligionteacher.com. Also Greg offers life coaching to fill the gaps at www.happyhealthyholy.com
