His door is open

I've been procrastinating about going to Confession, so I skipped Communion and said a prayer of spiritual communion. This could have been an occasion of more sin - looking at people and thinking "they shouldn't be going either" or "they come looking like that?" etc. But having prayed, "O Jesus I turn toward the holy tabernacle where You live hidden for love of me..." I looked up my eyes caught the open door of the tabernacle. I couldn't help but stare at that invitation and resolve to stop procrastinating, and to stop judging those present and focus on the Presence.
