​Sitting at His Feet

I’ve been thinking of writing this since I got home over a week ago! 
 
Recently, attending a youth conference, one of the songs they used resonated with me. 
 
Actually, it was just one line in Cody Carnes’ Nothing Else.  It was right around the feast of the family at Bethany (Sts. Mary, Martha and Lazarus), which made it even more appropriate.  
 
The above-mentioned line: “I just want to sit here at your feet,” along with echoing Mary’s posture while Jesus was visiting their house, is dear to my heart as a posture of prayer. 
 
Nothing Else really isn’t one of my favorite songs, but some of the thoughts contained therein really rang true to me and my experience of praying with the scriptures. 
 
This experience, for me and countless souls before me, isn’t just one of asking for a list of different intentions…It’s an experience of being with Jesus and listening to Him. 
 
It’s an experience of just sitting at His feet, whether it be at the home of Bethany, the Sea of Galilee, or the Foot of the Cross. 
 
During this time of Eucharistic Revival, how could I fail to mention the great gift we have as Catholics to really, physically, sit before the Lord, present in our tabernacles? 
 
It is a gift that will never grow old!  Each day brings us a new opportunity to sit at His feet, listening to Him and then to go out and share His love with others.
