Last Sunday of ordinary time for this year

I attended mass at Holy Family to get an earlier start to the day and was rewarded with a good sermon.

The Jesuit priest talked about this Sunday being the last sunday of ordinary time in the liturgical year and about how to take stock of this year now that we're almost to the end of it. Based on the Ignatian spirituality exercises, he suggests doing this 3 :

1. give thanks for all the blessings you've had this year
2. say sorry for all the wrongs you've done
3. how else can you provide more, give of more.

Very inspiring, I need to give this more thought.

Good! Hope this "more" thing doesn't stop at "thought" only :)

Like a long-view version of the daily examen! That makes a lot of sense as the liturgical year ends, and the calendar year draws closer to the end of 2009.
