We're spending this morning in silence. A guest speaker (some of you know Mary Ann McLaughlin) started us off with a reflection on "Christ's Presence in my Life". Somewhere in the middle of her presentation, I realized that my connection to Christ is tenuous. I do the Liturgy of the Hours and the daily Mass of the Church, but the personal relationship with Christ, the reason for those actions, is weak.
During my summer assignment, my summer vacation and this school year so far, I have been filling my spare time with reading for pleasure, TV and the internet. I think a refocus is required of me. If I do not have a deep personal relationship with Christ and cannot point out his presence in my life every day, how can I lead a congregation to become closer to Christ?
My daily prayer habits have all but disappeared over the summer. I need to get back into those good habits and pronto. I'll pray on it and your prayers for me would be most welcome as well.
