Foolishness for the Lord

We are busy; we have no spare time.

But we have to be fools and spend the time, and then we get back wisdom; and what wisdom there is from communing with the Eucharistic Lord.

We are captives, captives of his love, captives of his duty.

Kindliness to the unlovable people, the projection of the Spirit of Christ to those who would be unforgiving, all this is foolishness.

But if we keep up this holy hour, you will be very thankful in your hearts, not just to me, but that the Lord was so good to you.

Note: Archbishop Sheen made a Holy Hour every day. He was never too busy for quality time with our Savior.
