It’s been a few days since Sunday when the adoration article went out to parishioners at St. Louis, and so far no one has contacted me to sign up for an hour.
Rather than being disappointed, I continue to ask our Blessed Mother to pray that God will inspire someone to sign up, even just one person. I have done my best with it, and so I accept these results as God’s will.
That doesn’t mean I am going to give up, but I will take from this that a parish newsletter article may not be the best way to invite people to adoration. I understand the reluctance of people wanting to sign up–it takes up one hour a week from your life, and most of us are careful about making such commitments because our time is precious.
I won’t say that others are selfish with their time, but I admit that I am, viewing it as my time and not God’s time.
Praise be Jesus Christ, now and forever, amen.
