Do you want to know what you truly care about? Just look at your calendar!

If we look back at this past week’s calendar we can see what our priorities are. Maybe it’s family, work, sports, or playing backgammon. Whatever it is, it will show up on our calendar. Why? Whatever we love, we make time for. Sometimes when we look at our calendar we can get depressed. How often we push God aside for things like sports, TV, socializing, and more.

But there’s good news, too! If we want to make time for something we know is important, it’s easy: just block out the time on your calendar. If Jesus isn’t showing up on your calendar, make an appointment with Him tomorrow on your calendar.

St. Margaret Mary ‘made room’ for Jesus even when she didn’t have free time. Life as a Visitation Sister was full of work, structure, and obligations. But she still carved out time to be alone before the Blessed Sacrament. That’s where her relationship with the Sacred Heart took root.

God understands that our lives are busy. But none of us have an excuse to ignore God. And God is the author of time, so (if you really need it) He can make more time!

Don’t forget that prayer isn’t just to ‘get something done,’ it’s about spending time with Jesus. He wants to have a relationship with you, just to be with you. You can sit in silence. Talk to Him about your worries and hopes. Pray with the Gospel. We can’t honor His Heart if we never give Him our time.
