Welcome to Good Shepherd Chapel
Scripture- Speak, LORD, for your servant is listening. (1 Samuel 3:10)- Sacrifice or offering you wished not, but ears open to obedience you gave me. (Psalm 40:7a)- Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? (1 Corinthians 6:15a)- Where are you staying? He said to them, Come, and you will see. (John 1:38)
Reflection- Where is Jesus staying in your life? Have you answered His invitation to Come and you will see?- Do you recognize your capacity to be another Christ (members of Christ) to those that you meet?
- Do you take time to stop and listen to hear the message the Lord is speaking to you?- Do you have time to simply be and not to always do?
We are so obsessed with doingthat we have no time and no imagination left for being. As a resuare valued not for what they are but for what they do or what they havefor their usefulness. When man is rto his function he is placed in a servile, alienated condition. He exists forsomeone else or even worse fothingelse. Hence he cannot enjoy life. The ethos of our society certainly places an enormous emphasis on "fun," but our whole concept of joy is mendacious because it is servile. Even the fun that we have is for
pose. It is justified not by its gratuity, its simple celebration of the gift of life, but by its utility.
Why then aren't we happy? Because of our servility. The whole celebration is empty because it is "usefuhave not yet rediscovered the primary usefulness of the useless. From this loss of all sense of being, all capalive for the sake of living and praising God, all thankfulness, all "Eucharistic" spirit, comes the awful frustratlessness of our world obsessed with "doing" so that even "having fun" becomes a job of work, an operation, a
ble production, even a systematic campaign.1
