Late have I loved Thee...

I was looking at a sample Magnificat magazine this morning, and in it was the following examination of conscience:

What have you loved? What have you sought?

Simple, and yet so profound! I need simple right now. Oh how I need simple!

And doesn't it all boil down to that? What have I loved today? What have I sought? What I seek shows what I love.

Did I love my child or did I seek another small moment of solitude and sigh when she came to ask a question? Even the 254th question before 8:30 AM? Do I really love solitude more than my daughter?

Did I seek perfection for perfection's sake and bristle when I fell short yet again? Even very very (very) short? Or did I offer my best to God and let Him shine through my weakness?

Did I seek ME time, or computer time, or TV time or anything time, before I had sought God and given God His time? Do I love me, the internet, or TV more than God?


What do I love? What have I sought?
