Children are often diagnosed with a “lack of concentration” in class, and then the rest of their activities are placed under that classification. Apart from the problems caused neurological and psychological diseases determined by specialists and which have their own treatment, in general the matter is conditioned by the vital interests of the people.
You see that same child who later gets distracted in class by playing with intent or watching a cartoon, or kicking a penalty ball into the opponent’s goal, and the concentration level is maximum. It all depends on the ultimate interest tan. So us. We pay attention to our interests. It all depends on our aspirations in life.
Magdalena, a public sinner, frustrated, sad, empty of God, but hungry for eternity, he found another man, clear-eyed, innocent, wise, compassionate, humble of heart, who spoke with divine authority, and he concentrated, fixed his gaze on him. And listened carefully The Parable of the Prodigal Son. Step by step he followed the story of a young man who squandered his fortune and returned home Father and all his sins are forgiven. And she saw herself reflected in the parable, like a repentant daughter returning to his father’s house.
This distracted, superficial woman, wrapped in her fine clothes, jewelry and seductive beauty, that nothing was important to him, he concentrated on something extremely important, his eternal life, his happiness, his desire for fulfillment, because he found someone who touched his soul. It changed his life. He stopped to listen, to contemplate, to enter into a higher dimension of existence, into the depth of the soul that aspires to God. And everything became new to her. He was resurrected, transformed from the inside; discovered god within it; Inside, she looked bright, beautiful. And he saw himself from the outside, and what used to be beautiful, seductive, became ugly, horrible, monstrous. And that disgusted him. And gave up everything. AND became a disciple of Christ. And he followed him to the end. And he saw him resurrected.
He was never distracted again and stopped being superficial. focused on mystery from God who became man. And it became wise, deep, full harmony, peace, serenity. It is clear: when someone finds the deep center of his life’s interest, he concentrates, leaves everything else, finds a fine pearl, a field of great value, and sells everything else, as Jesus says. Mary Magdalene, after conversion, focused on the mystery of Godit was never manipulated again for the gold and power of this world.
