The Lord Talks about Drowsiness and its Impacts On Our Spiritual Life

Be careful that your hearts do not become drowsy.

This is an interesting expression the Lord utilizes within the Gospel. Think about . . . what it is to feel drowsy. Not to be asleep, but want to sleep. Don’t let your hearts become drowsy. That does not mean . . . it is different than saying . . . sluggish, or indifferent. What does it mean? Hear more within the Homily.

Don’t let high energy living cause your heart to be drowsy. We all, perhaps, have experienced this at one time or another. High energy . . . then we crash. The Lord says don’t let it impact your heart. Jesus then continues and talks about . . . the anxiety of daily living.

The Lord is talking about anxiety and our daily spiritual living. Anxiety zaps our energy. It then becomes hard to pray and hard to rest in peace. Often, we have sleepless nights. We are awake. Yet the next day are energy becomes zapped.
