| Many years ago, a mother wanted to encourage her young son in learning the piano. She took him to a concert featuring the renowned Paderewski. Once seated, the mother spotted a friend and went to greet her. The little boy wandered away from his seat, and pushed open a door labeled “No Admittance”. The house lights dimmed as the mother discovered her son was missing. Suddenly the stage curtains parted and there he was, sitting at the Steinway grand, picking out “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”. Paderewski made his entrance, moved to the piano and whispered, “Don’t stop. Keep playing!” The great pianist began a bass part with his left hand and a running obbligato with his right. Together, the old master and the novice transformed the situation into a wonderful, mesmerizing experience. That is the way it is with God. We try our best, but we accomplish little on our own. Yet, with the hand of the Master, our life’s work truly can be beautiful. When you commit to the life of a disciple, listen carefully to the voice of the Master whispering “Don’t stop. Keep playing”. Feel God’s loving arms around you as God’s strong hands play the concerto of your life. ©2009 Liturgical Publications Inc. |
