Rethinking New Year’s resolutions can increase the chances you’ll actually keep them, said a number of area clergy and faithful.
Starting off the calendar year with the intention to do better “can be an activity of deep humility,” said Father Stephen DeLacy, director of the Office for Vocations to the Diocesan Priesthood at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in Wynnewood.
However, he added, “I wonder if our humility goes far enough,” noting that many draw up lists of “excessive” aims that are “almost always a recipe for failure.”
Instead, “we need to recognize that we (should) start off small,” said Father DeLacy.
