“Set my heart on the Kingdom? Fine, but how does one do this? One simple answer is to move from the mind to the heart by slowing saying a prayer with as much attentiveness as possible.”

                                                                                    -Henri Nouwen

For Reflection: 

When I pray rote prayers or participate at Mass, do I sound like an auctioneer moving quickly from item to item, or do I sound like a lover speaking to her beloved?
