How many times in a conversation do we find ourselves drifting to other thoughts and missing what people are saying to us, right in front of us? If it includes a date or time, we walk away saying, "Now when are we supposed to meet? We have to call or e-mail for the answer.
How often when we attend Mass do we "drift" during the readings? In the Byzantine Rite, an admonition is given as part of the Liturgy: "Be Attentive". How wise it is to be told: "Pay attention." So when we hear today's brief Gospel, let us pay attention. "Jesus said: "My sheep hear my voice;" (Jn 10:27). Indeed, as good sheep, let us open our ears and hearts to LISTEN!
