Psalm 137

"Let my tongue be silenced if I ever forget you."

The responsorial psalm from Sunday's Mass really struck me. I kept thinking how many times during the day I forget to keep Christ as my focus. If He was there at the forefront of my mind, how many times would I change how I say something or even better just keep quiet? These crazy pregnancy hormones find me flying off the handle or breaking down in tears way too often anyway...I don't need my own lack of prayerfulness to contribute. I think I'll give it a try for today and see.
How do you keep your focus?

  1. Ran across this related quote yesterday...

    "When you feel the assaults
    of passion and anger,
    then is the time to be silent
    as Jesus was silent in
    the midst of His ignominies and sufferings."

    St. Paul of the Cross

    God bless!
