Who and where is the real source of power to sustain oneself on life's journeys and to fuel a lifetime of service to others? - a required and reluctantly performed community service project or frequent time in the Presence of the living God? Shouldn't the answer be obvious? Look at how they respond to Him!
Why are we Catholics so reluctant to come into His Presence? Can there really be anyone or anything more important than and more entitled to our love, time and presence than He Who loves and died for us?
More than two centuries ago, Jesus invited Peter, James and John to pray with Him. They went to sleep instead, not once but three times. Our Lord asked them: "Could you not watch one hour with Me?" He extends the same inviation to each of us. Sadly, He still finds most of us asleep.
The invitation and need to spend time in His Presence did not end when the Year of the Eucharist concluded. It's a lifetime gig, joy and blessing! Come!
