Can we welcome time alone
with our thoughts this Lent? -Gretchen R. Crowe (Feb. 20, 2019)
In 2014, a study was released by the journal
Science that concluded that people would
rather subject themselves to physical pain
than be left with only their thoughts for com-pany. An online report by Nadia Whitehead outlines the prem-
ise of the experiment.
“Individuals were placed in sparsely furnished rooms and asked
to put away their belongings, such as cellphones and pens.
They then were given one of two tests that lasted between 6 and
15 minutes,” she writes. “While some were told to think about
whatever they wanted, others chose from several prompts, such
as going out to eat or playing a sport, and planned out how they
would think about it during the period.”
About 50 percent of participants reported that they didn’t like
the experience of simply thinking, with many adding that they had been bored. Taking the study a step further, the researchers
from the University of Virginia next gave participants the op-
tion of either thinking or shocking themselves with electricity.
“Even though all participants had previously stated that they
would pay money to avoid being shocked with electricity, 67
percent of men and 25 percent of women chose to inflict it on
themselves rather than just sit there quietly and think,” White-
head writes.
We are officially a culture that is opposed to spending time
inside our heads. And why not? It’s something to which we are
not at all accustomed. Instead, every moment of every day is cluttered with noise. There’s music and podcasts in the car;
texting and social media on the phone; earbuds or Beats at the
gym; TV and smart speakers once we get home. We have no
reason, no need, to sit quietly and simply think.
Unfortunately, even as we think less, we are speaking more.
Just take the Covington Catholic fiasco from the March for Life
in January. No one thought and everyone spoke immediately —
and on their social media megaphones. And because even news
organizations are thinking less, false and harmful headlines
suddenly were ubiquitous.
But though technology plays a large role in making it easy to
avoid thinking, I believe there’s a bigger reason we are scared to be alone with our thoughts. For with quiet reflection can
come self-doubt, self-criticism, shame and regret. In short, time
alone with our thoughts allows us time alone with our con-
science. And sometimes we don’t like what our conscience has
to say.
Which brings me to Lent — what should be a season of mean-
ingful self-reflection. Perhaps if we find ourselves tempted by
all the noise this world has to offer, we might consider perform-
ing a daily examination of conscience for the next 40 days. This
can be done at night, right before bed. And in silence.
It’s not hard. It just takes some courage to be open to where our thoughts might lead us. And the fortitude to know that it’s
worth it. (www.osvnews.com)

The month of March is dedicated to St.
Joseph. We don't know much about him
except what is mentioned in the Gospels.
Joseph was the husband of the Blessed
Virgin Mary and the foster-father of Jesus. Holy Scripture proclaims him as a "just
man," and the Church has turned to Joseph
for his patronage and protection. Pope Leo
XIII in his encyclical Quamquam Plu-
ries (On the Devotion to St. Joseph) in
1889 explains why we place so much trust
in this saint: "Thus in giving Joseph the Blessed Virgin as
spouse, God appointed him to be not only her life's companion,
the witness of her maidenhood, the protector of her honor, but
also, by virtue of the conjugal tie, a participator in her sublime
dignity. And Joseph shines among all mankind by the most au-
gust dignity, since by divine will, he was the guardian of the Son of God and reputed as His father among men. Hence it
came about that the Word of God was humbly subject to Joseph,
that He obeyed him, and that He rendered to him all those offic-
es that children are bound to render to their parents. From this
two-fold dignity flowed the obligation which nature lays upon
the head of families, so that Joseph became the guardian, the
administrator, and the legal defender of the divine house whose
chief he was. And during the whole course of his life he fulfilled
those charges and those duties. ...It is, then, natural and worthy
that as the Blessed Joseph ministered to all the needs of the fam-
ily at Nazareth and girt it about with his protection, he should now cover with the cloak of his heavenly patronage and defend
the Church of Jesus Christ."
One hundred years later John Paul II echoes his predecessor in
his 1989 Apostolic Exhortation Redemptoris Custos (Guardian
of the Redemeemer), hoping "that all may grow in devotion to
the Patron of the Universal Church and in love for the Savior
whom he served in such an exemplary manner ... In this way the
whole Christian people not only will turn to St. Joseph with
greater fervor and invoke his patronage with trust, but also will
always keep before their eyes his humble, mature way of serv-
ing and of "taking part" in the plan of salvation." St. Joseph is
invoked as patron for many causes. He is the patron of the
Universal Church. He is the patron of the dying because
Jesus and Mary were at his death-bed. He is also the patron
of fathers, of carpenters, and of social justice. Many reli-
gious orders and communities are placed under his patron-
age. (Taken from catholicculture.org)
