Along the East Coast of the United States, a severe blizzard has shut down schools, some public offices and forced people to stay off the roads. A day of quiet (if we so choose) imposed on us by Mother Nature...What will we do with it?
Today's Gospel recounts the first meeting of Jesus with Andrew and another disciple. They spent the whole afternoon together, so moved by the experience that the time, four o'clock was noted years later in John's Gospel, written perhaps 60 years after the event...It certainly made a lasting impact on them. Peter was invited to join them at another meeting, one that changed Peter's name, Simon to Cephas, and his life.
We might not be fully aware of how we too are searching, and that the poignant question, What are you looking for is being addressed to us. So too the invitation, Come and see. Do we have time? Can we MAKE the time? For those "imprisoned" at home today, this might be the perfect time. It might not change our names, but it could change our lives.
