Nights of destiny
It may seem that our lives are defined by our best or worst hour. Yet character is actually honed one decision at a time, and we’re always free to choose a new direction. At an early age the Franciscan priest Maximilian Kolbe had a vision of martyrdom and embraced it. Forty years later he would have to choose it more concretely, offering his life in exchange for another prisoner in the Auschwitz death camp. On this day Muslims commemorate another “Night of Destiny,” when Mohammed received his revelation, by praying as a community for mercy, forgiveness, and salvation. Today, pray for the gifts you need to fulfill your destiny.
