A couple mildly profound thoughts that I have had today through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
Driving into work I was praying and the Lord brought a prayer to my lips that I didn't understand until I had said it. "Lord, bring about a deeper conversion at my school, beginning with my own heart." I prayed that and then just sat there thinking, "Whoa." What if I actually lived that out?
Great, I forgot the other one. But something else I was reminded of was that we never know the hearts of everyone around us. Many have secret burdens that we cannot know about by looking at them. Yet if we love each person as if they are Christ, then we can't go wrong. Therein lies the task. Let's get to it, Christian soldiers. Go be Christ's hands and feet. And I'll see you in the Eucharist.
P.S. I remembered my other "profound" thought. I was stopped at a red light and as it turned green a firetruck with its lights on came from behind. It got in the opposing lane and went around us. Since my dad was a firefighter for so many years I have a fond place in my heart for them. However, this time I was thinking about how beautiful it was that everyone stopped and waited for the truck to pass. It was as if for a moment we were all in one accord and realized, if only briefly, that someone else was more important than ourselves. Our mad rush to whatever location was placed to the side as we watched others race to the aid of those in need. It was a small but great moment for humanity.
