There is an important difference between the teachings that we must believe, which are infallible (deposit, dogma), and/or unchangeable (doctrine), and the rules that we must obey but which are changeable (disciplines). Finally, there are areas where we are free to believe or not believe, practice or not practice, without offending against faith (devotions).

Except for fasting and abstinence, most of what we practice at Lent is under the realm of “devotion.” What’s the difference? And is it relevant?

I recently helped at a Knights of Columbus retreat. One of my talks dealt with vulnerability and love. I speak about that vulnerability today in the podcast today as a necessity for our Lent. Know I’ll be praying for you all during Lent.

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a vision condition in which people can see close objects clearly, but objects farther away appear blurred.  “My”opia is when I can only clearly see “my” perspective and those of others are blurred. In this edition of By Your Life, we’ll discuss a cure for “my”opia.
