If after examining your conscience you find that you are among the weeds, dont be afraid to change. The order has not yet been given to cut the field down; the harvest has not yet come. Dont be today what you were yesterday, and dont be tomorrow what you are today. (Sermon 5, 2 Caillou)

Rev. Joseph A. Komonchak, professor emeritus of the School of Theology and Religious Studies at the Catholic University of America, is a retired priest of the Archdiocese of New York.
