How Do We Spend Our Time?

How we spend our time is one of the most valuable decisions we
make, because time is one thing we can never get back once it’s
gone. Maybe God is calling you to do something more with your time,
in this very moment even, but distractions are pulling you in too
many different directions to focus. Make no mistake, distractions
steal our time, even those we willfully choose. Even worse, as St.
Alphonsus Ligouri said, voluntary distraction can steal our soul.
Maybe there’s a dozen different things you know you should be
doing, but you can’t choose one, so you choose none. If that’s the
case, Fr. Mike says to take solace in the fact that you only have
to choose one task, because the reality is that multitasking
doesn’t work anyway. Holiness is to choose one thing, namely to say
yes to God’s will. So choose your one sacrifice, and say yes to the
focused and singular task of holiness.
