Waiting

Note:  I will not have access to the internet Saturday and Sunday...Will be back with more slices of bread on Labor Day. 
 
Waiting is not fun, and like the women in today's Gospel, (Mt 25:1-13), our "fuel" supply runs low, even out, and leaves us in the lurch.  But waiting is part of the game...When have we not waited, who has not waited?  What to do while we are waiting?  Bishop Robert Barron sums up a plan nicely:
We are wise in our waiting if we pray on a regular basis; if we educate ourselves in the faith; if we participate in the sacraments, especially the Eucharist; if we perform the corporal and spiritual works of mercy; if we become people of love. We are foolish in our waiting if we neglect these things.

Plenty of food for thought today.
