Paying Attention
Paying Attention
Things we hear all the time—even important and potentially life saving things—can become so familiar we stop really paying attention. Seriously. Think about the last time you were actually absorbed in what the flight attendant said just before takeoff.
This week’s gospel reading includes a vital part of Christian liturgy—28 words so important that Jesus said every other word in the Bible hangs from them—the Church has repeated week after week almost without exception. Year after year. Decade after decade. For millennia.
Que Charlie Brown adult sound.
This week though, I’m hoping to help us give it our attention.
See you Sunday.
