There has been a lot of discussion coming from Notre Dame about how visiting Jesus is passe. Personally, I find the whole topic silly.
If you claim to love someone with your whole heart, your whole body, and your whole spirit, you would jump at the chance to go visit them. Well, if you were sincere, anyway. If you truly longed for their presence in your life, you would desire to spend every waking moment with them. (That’s why newly-weds run off together for a honeymoon.)
So to say that it is no longer important to spend time with Jesus simply means that the speaker doesn’t love Jesus as much as he says he does. Actions speak louder than words. If you love Jesus, you visit Jesus. If you want Jesus kept in a cold, dark box all alone, Jesus may be inclined to think the same thing of you when you meet Him at the end of time. Something to think about.
