Humans have so much "in common with the stones of the earth...existence, life with the trees and plants, sense with animals, and reason with angels." (Fr. John Tauler, O.P. (1361)
We humans because we have reason get caught up with the thinking of the world because its noise and beliefs are so loud and constant. It is when we take time in quiet each day, morning and night, that we discover the truth, the answers we need to live a full and holy life. Jesus taught us simply that night before he died. He said that he came to serve, not to be served. If we believed this simple ideal then husbands would serve their wives and wives would serve their husbands and by these examples children would serve their parents so parents would desire to serve their children. A life of service and love makes us whole and complete. Otherwise we always seem to feel that something is missing and we then look for that missing piece in all the wrong places. So this day before the glory of the risen Christ, take time to pray in silence and solitude and take time to serve others well!
God bless!!
