Shh!
Come in
within
I AM here
take off your shoes
kneel down
and
worship
wordlessly
in this
holy place
called
prayer.
~ by Mary Frances Reis, BVM
The practice of paying attention is the rarest of gifts because it depends upon the harshest of disciplines. So uncommon is it for us to grasp the beauty and mystery of ordinary things that, when we finally do so, it often brings us to the verge of tears. Appalled by our own poverty, we awake in wonder to a splendor of which we had never dreamed.
