“After Jesus left the synagogue, he entered the house of Simon. Simon’s mother-in-law was afflicted with a severe fever, and they interceded with him about her. He stood over her, rebuked the fever, and it left her. She got up immediately and waited on them. At sunset, all who had people sick with various diseases brought them to him. He laid his hands on each of them and cured them. And demons also came out from many, shouting, “You are the Son of God.” But he rebuked them and did not allow them to speak because they knew that he was the Christ. At daybreak, Jesus left and went to a deserted place. The crowds went looking for him, and when they came to him, they tried to prevent him from leaving them. But he said to them, “To the other towns also I must proclaim the good news of the Kingdom of God, because for this purpose I have been sent.” And he was preaching in the synagogues of Judea.” -Luke 4:38-44
 
Jesus understood how short a soul’s time on this earth is, so He stayed busy doing the Father’s will. He still wishes to be busy with you today. It may seem there isn’t time in the day to pray or remain focused on Our Lord, but that isn’t true.
 
Christ is always with us, waiting for an invitation to join us. During our busy day, we can cut the grass, do housework, or run errands with Him. We can invite Him to come along with us and spend that time in conversation. Sometimes, it is peaceful just to spend quiet time in His company.
 
As citizens of this world, we inevitably get caught up in our daily routines. However, this does not mean we must be separated from our Lord. Just as he joyfully carried out the Father’s will, moving from one town to another, He wishes to be a part of our daily activities, helping us to do the same.
 
Saint Rosalia, pray for us.
