Thanks to a number of factors, each generation in our country generally tends to live a few years longer than its predecessor. But lest we lose focus, Yeshua ben Sira, the author of the Book of Sirach, reminds us that "limited days of life are given him [humankind]." The sage then continues to map out a moral and ethical course for those who are wise enough to accept it and follow it. We are rapidly approaching the season of Lent, a season of reflection, of adjustment, of conversion. Perhaps these readings during the weekday Masses can set us up for the conversion God may ask of us during Lent. "All their [our] actions are clear as the sun to him [God], his eyes are ever upon their ways." (Sirach 17:15)
