The Oregon Trail Ruts are fascinating. The challenges of travel in the early years had to be daunting. These ruts demonstrate the fortitude of the many travelers that passed this way. It was probably a good thing to stay in the rut as they made their way through this terrain.
What is the difference between having good habits and being stuck in a rut? It is a good habit to have the discipline to set aside time each day to pray. Can this good habit ever become stale and simply turn into a rut? Do we find ourselves going through the motions of prayer without sincerely praying? Do we honor God with our lips while our hearts are far from Him?
The Catholic Church celebrates the Feast of Corpus Christi this weekend. It is a reminder to all of us to give due respect and homage to our Lord, Jesus Christ. If you find the Eucharistic Liturgy boring, please ask God to open your heart to the true mystery of the celebration. If you doubt the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, take time to prayerfully read, meditate and pray over chapter 6 of John's Gospel. Do not be unbelieving, but believe.
