I have a busy week going. Flu shot Monday, Spiritual Direction Tuesday and then prayer group, Book Club Wednesday after school, followed by my women's group in the evening, Area Wide Prayer Meeting Thursday, and what have you on Friday. Then somebody in the household who isn't myself will be doing a retreat over the weekend. It is a busy week. But, somewhere in all the busy-ness, I need to find time to deeply pray. I need to reflect on the Gospel message of love. I need to let the love of the Father to the Son shine as the Holy Spirit in my life. I need to read the scripture and talk to the saints.
I can pick my old body up and run through these days, but if I don't pause for prayer as the most important priority, I will be sadly lacking in the spiritual energy to do much good. And if I am not doing good with my life, why do any of this at all?
