Finding the Deserted Place
Greetings!
Is your life a little too crazy lately? Classes, studying, sports, friends, girlfriend/boyfriend, and not to mention groups, clubs or intermurals. We do a great job of filling out time. But how well do you do finding quiet? This Sunday's Gospel Reading (Mark 1:29-39) Jesus gives us an example of how to handle the busyness of life. At the beginning of this passage we see a very busy Jesus; he heals a woman with a fever, "cured many that were sick" and "cast our many demons." After that he finds a deserted place to be alone with God. A time to rejuvenate and renew for the task at hand.
How often do you find a quiet place, a deserted place, a place of prayer? This could mean taking ten minutes to pray in the morning, attend a Sunday service or come to our Imagine retreat (more info on this below). Whatever it may be, follow Jesus' example and find your own deserted place. |
