3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time

Walls are necessary for security, to protect the life that is fostered within those walls. To be strong in our Catholic faith we do need to be set apart, we do need to build walls to protect our life inside from the attacks of the outer world.  But we are also invited - like the Israelites, like Noah on the ark - to open the windows at opportune times and let this life transform those around us: it's both/and.  Where do you need to strengthen a wall this week?  And where are you being asked to open a window?
