A few random thoughts during this week of light blogging:
*We exist in time and space. Prayer involves communication with that which transcends both. No wonder it's difficult.
*Prayer, existing outside time and space, resists both. It might be a good idea to create a space in your house for prayer, thus cutting the resistance in half.
*During my summer travels, I've concluded that too many religious music directors can't discern the difference between saccharine and reverent music. And if they could, they'd opt for saccharine.
*If I honestly believe God is in the Eucharist, why aren't I going to Mass every day?
*You know a newspaper story is going to be bad when it contains any of the following:
"A former Jesuit says . . .".
Related: "Garry Wills says . . .".
"The religious right is angry . . .".
"In the Dark Ages before the Enlightenment . . ."
