To be a lay person, living in the world, requires us to give our attention to secular and profane things, out of necessity, but only as a temporary measure for this pilgrim life. As the #Bible says, as a consequence of sin, we have to gather our provisions by the sweat of our brows through labour.

But our ultimate life, the one we’re training for, is devoid of schedules, work, income, car insurance, or any of those kinds of obligations. The afterlife has one concern, which is the love and #worship of #God.

And this is the big challenge of the lay vocation - that our attention on the secular can become so all consuming that we forget to make any time for the #sacred and thereby lose out on opportunities to be made #holy.
So, especially in these seasons when the #Church is calling us to pay attention to that which is holy, it’s really important that we not neglect to respond to that challenge.
