Are We Paying Attention?
One thing I miss from the States is the creative TV ads
Do you remember a Jack in the Box advertisement featuring "Meaty Cheesy Boys"?
Or the Taco Bell Chihuahua?
Or the Geico Chipmunks?
One thing about those advertisements, they are designed to catch our attention first. In the midst of this modern world, where many things cry for our attention, only the laudests and most eccentrics caught our attention.
Remember Jesus being caught, beaten, tried, flogged and crucified?
That should get our attention.
Or as God said to St. Catherine: "My Son is treated in this way by love, in order that the ignorant man should be unable to resist being drawn to Me".
Yes, it could be the case that we are so ignorant that the Cross is really needed so that God and His Love can really got our attention.
The question is, how long will we choose to stay ignorant? Or will we, after turning our brief attention to the Cross, finally choose to respond to His Love?
God is waiting lovingly for our answer.....
