It's all about You
All about You, Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the thing
I've made it
When it's all about You
It's all about You Jesus
I can't believe we're already in the triduum! This Lent went by way too fast. These three days have my favorite three (kinda) Masses of the whole year. (I say kinda, cause good Friday isn't a Mass.) So it was a little frustrating to me that for some reason, I wasn't able to keep my attention on the Mass tonight. I'm sure I could blame it on many things: working all day, being at a different Church, whatever. But really, they all seem like stupid excuses.
Usually, though, no matter how distracted I get during Mass, I'm able to pull it together by the time of the moment of consecration. Not tonight. The moment of consecration was approaching, I looked up at the altar and got distracted by the teenager sitting in front of me. My thoughts went something like this: "Look at her, Jesus is about to come, and she's playing with her nails! *internal disgusted noise*" Then God kinda smacked me upside my head and said something like: "Look at you, Jesus is about to come, and you're watching her play with her nails." Boom! God had me!
You know, when you so clearly hear God's voice, it is REALLY hard to not listen. Somehow I got my attention back where it belonged, and tried my very hardest to keep it there.
Dear Jesus, thanks for the head smacking! I admit, I NEEDED it. Help me to not be as easily distracted tomorrow and the day after. Feel free to do more head smacking if necessary. Amen.
