Wisdom for the Lenten Season
from the Vice-Rector of the North American College
from the Vice-Rector of the North American College
Modern life doesn't allow us the luxury of living for one thing. Multi-tasking is prized and even expected.
Opportunities are rampant and extensive. Needs are clamoring.
The temptation is to do everything - or nothing.
Of being frantic or overwhelmed. Or both.
Do you find life a bit fragmented?
Are there are too many things in life fighting for your attention?
Mother Teresa's incredible focus on the "one thing" made her a very powerful and compelling woman.
That's how saints are made.
What if our hearts were redirected to the "One Thing."
It takes an act of will and a choice.
Prayer keeps us focused on the "One Thing"
and slowly, all the other things find their place.
May this Lenten season bring the “One Thing” into clear focus
as you gaze on the beauty of the Cross,
the one thing which is the greatest source of life and love.
