St. Andrew Nov. 30

Thomas Merton said that just as there are seeds that are blown about by the wind waiting to land on earth and take root, so there are spiritual seeds blown about by the Holy Spirit everyday of our lives waiting to land in our hearts and take root. 

But three things are necessary for them to take root,love,freedom and spontaneity. 

How spontaneous are we?  

Our lives seem to be run by calendars, appointments and things to do. 

Yet the Lord calls us everyday. 

Like St. Andrew are we able to drop what we are doing and immediately follow Him?

Maybe He is calling us to forgive someone, to reach out and help someone, to spend time with Him in prayer.

Do we hesitate?

Do we think about it?

Do we procrastinate?

The true heart of a disciple is spontaneous who like St. Andrew immediately drops whatever they are doing to follow the Lord. 

God Bless
