My wife is a contemplative. I watch her pray and I have to wonder how she does it. Her eyes close, her face gets a serene, contended look on it, and she sits there. And sits there.
Get help with your “Can’t sit still” prayer life.
She doesn’t move.
She doesn’t speak.
She just sits there listening and […]
1. We ask this question of everyone, and the (diversity) in the answers (is) wonderful – how would you define the “postmodern movement?”
