Jesus, Text Me Please :)

I was annoyed today when attending my godson's Confirmation. I wasn't annoyed that I was there. It was the people, particularly this father and daughter. They were callous and disrespectful during the ceremony. No consideration to turn off their cell phones.Even during the liturgy of the Eucharist, the girl constantly is texting on her Sidekick (TM)! How annoying! And the father, with some credit was just as annoyed, but yet heeded to his own calls on his cell phone!!! Unless Jesus or God was calling or messaging, the least they could've done was turn off their phones!

It then urged me to look up at an image of the divine mercy of Jesus, stern in apperance yet also sad. I felt a kinship as though I felt what he was feeling. Perhaps slower to anger than I, he seemed to look as though sad that there are those who dare to ignore him or fail to get close to him or refuse to know him...How I sometimes feel like that! Yet, because I am human, I get jealous, angry, sad, and depress. In spite of all the injustices to the point of his death, Jesus still continues to love us and wants more of us to love him. How sad he must be with the state of the world now, with violence replacing innocence and innocence practicing violence! I mourn for the days when we really stood together as people who connected as "family." Now even families can become divided! I pray for them who suffer from poverty, corruption, any injustice! We all need to pray for each other!

Will you join me in prayer each day?...

God bless...
