End And The Beginning, The

About “ The End and the Beginning, Maher writes, “ What is ‘the end of the beginning ’? For many, this statement means many things. To some, the end is ; graduation; moving away. Our beginning as well: creation; birth; new jobs; marriage. Our lives are full of ‘Alphas and Omegas.’ However, they are not the Alpha and Omega, and they never co-exist—except in Christ—especially in the Liturgy and the Eucharist. Here, the end of time and the beginning of time are one. is life. They are all subject to the unifying power of God. The end and the beginning is Heaven; resurrection; eternity. This is what Christianity is about; and at the heavenly banquet, we are given a glimpse of this. It is my hope that these songs will help re-orient your vision towards our common goal—salvation.”
