Amen, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people
longed to see what you see but did not see it,
and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.”
I am those people.
Those people is me!
I long to hear. I want to see. And I will try every day – through apps , prayers, in my hospital or just sitting in my car – praying. I am always occupied or I like to claim to be – to exercise or to cook a healthy meal or worse to pray!
Prayer is our communication with God but often as I grew up I always heard the voice in my head responding back to my own thoughts. While I never understood it even now – the version of self – all I know is I have faith.
When Im happy or sad I long to heart God as I praise and thank God! but alas, I dont make time! Recently we had a conference organised by my department , I ensured I drove to the nearest hair salon before my programme to ensure I was ready before it. I squeezed my last1 hour of the evening after work and ensured I looked half decent.
But with prayer , I dont do that. Last Monday I had some spare time – so I went to church – participated in the mass and my day was made! I could follow the homily and sing along unlike usually when I attend the regional language Eucharistic celebration.
Today let us all make time for our connect with the Lord
Amen
