Jesus, today I turn away from those many things and listen to You alone, undistracted
How many devices do you own? How many notification beeps can you identify? As for me, I can recognize when I have a phone call Voice mail or email Different and distinct tones tell me when someone “likes” My social media post or responds to another Or comments on my blog Of course, I awaken to an alarm (on my phone instead of an actual clock) I don’t keep a digital calendar (mine still hangs on the wall) And I don’t keep track my daily steps But if I did Those would have to be added to the acophony, wouldn’t they? So many things Sometimes we’re tempted to argue with Jesus in the gospel passage But I’m different, we want to say “Sure, I’m busy… but I can listen to you too, Lord I’m sure of it”.
