You’re attending Mass.
You’re praying the Angelus.
You’re reading the daily Mass readings.
You’re saying grace before a meal.
But are you praying? Are you humbly speaking to the Lord from your heart? Are you pausing to listen? Are you sitting in deep silence for 5-10 minutes?
While there is certainly a mystery to the practice of religion, and we acknowledge the hidden movements of God, it’s also possible to go through the motions. Let’s pray for the grace to be prayerful- simply, humbly, as we live out our faith.
