I feel the need to be doing multiple things at the same time. Like right now, I'm writing this blog, answering a text message and listening to music. If I'm watching TV, I'm also on the computer. It's the horrible cycle of doing too many things at one time and not really giving my full attention to one specific thing. I'm working on it. I'm trying to be more intentional with my time. When I have a conversation with one person I try to focus on them, and not answer the three emails that just buzzed in on my phone, and the "urgent" text message I received.
Keeping all these things in mind let me set the scene for you. I spent the weekend in Boston with a few of my sorority sisters "doing" a lot of stuff. We went to mass at this beautiful church. This Sunday was the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity and boy do I love the Trinity. It's just really cool and I spent a lot of time this past semester learning about the growth of theological ideas throughout the history of Christianity. I was listening to the readings hoping and praying for a word or a line to strike a cord in my heart. First Reading..nothing. Responsorial Psalm..nothing. Second Reading..nothing. Gospel...BOOM "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations". There it was. A two letter word that I had been waiting for all of mass "GO". I can do something with that word. It's not just an idea or concept that I learned about in class. But the Word of God is telling me. You. US! To GO and make disciples of all nations. He even tells us how "teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you".
Like I said earlier "I'm a do-er" but I also like instructions sometimes. God is calling each of us to GO and spread the word of God. It's simple. Treat others as you want to be treated. Love, whole hearted each and every person you meet. But most importantly let all your actions be centered around Christ. Allow him to fill you, each and every day, each and every second. Great and amazing miracles will come from that.
