Jennifer T. Furnia Special to The Citizen âSo well must we use the time that is accorded us,â St. Isaac Jogues wrote, âthat we must do that in our life which we would have wished that we did at the moment of our death.â As 2020 came to a close, I paused, reflected and challenged myself to jot down some gifts of 2020: quality family time, renewed friendships, completion of house projects, health and fitness, taking time to smell the roses and new families joining St. John Paul II Academy. Every year of our life has defining moments of darkness. Rather than focus on that darkness, we should seek Godâs light shining through. The prayer of St. Francis, my fatherâs favorite, outlines our task perfectly: âLord, make me an instrument of your peace.â
