One of the most difficult acts of Faith the Lord asks of us is to believe what He says in our Gospel today from Luke, "There is need of only one thing."

The many tasks and demands of life can tend to make life disjointed in our minds, losing the unity and harmony that only God can bring.

There is only ever one true need, the presence of God.

Where do I easily forget about the Presence of God in my day?

The Lord is inviting us, like St. Bruno, to live lives that make sense by remembering always our deepest need is for His Presence, and supplies this need throughout the day.

Let us not be afraid to remain in the Presence of Christ, to listen for the beautiful harmony God is wanting to make today with the many circumstances and demands on us.
