more alive

So, then people do go to church to pray; I sometimes feel more alive during Mass than at any other point during the day.

I like being away from the hurly-burly, free from the insanity of the pervasive profanity. There are times that I like being quiet, avoiding speaking, responding to this statement, editing that sentence. A good conversation can be very stressful.

Being in the stillness of a church, I realized that the church is not ever still. Someone is always entering or leaving a church. Someone is always sitting down or standing up. Prayer is always going on.

Sweet prayers are made of more than words, more than feelings. How we pray can be very individual!

Prayers can be the soundtrack of a person's life.
