Before Jesus faced the attacks of the scribes and Pharisees, he spent the night in the
quiet of the Mount of Olives. Technology increases the demands on us and we all need
a quiet place to refuel our spirit, otherwise all we share in our homes are fatigue and
bitterness. Where can you find a few minutes each day to refresh your spirit?

The specific way that Jesus asks you to love him in return is to spend one quiet
hour with him in the Blessed Sacrament.
