Mind flies

Posted on May 23, 2010 | No Comments

It’s so funny how your mind flies when you are inside the church. It’s temptation, I am sure. But how about for someone like me who has a short attention span? Even an hour of liturgical service couldn’t hold my attention. It’s bad, I know, but I really can’t help it. Of course, it doesn’t help that the priest’s homily is irrelevant to the gospel or that it does not even apply to our daily lives. Or I couldn’t relate to it at all!

But let me say that whenever my mind wanders and I realize it, I would get my mind back on track. Sometimes, when I know that my mind would just wander, I would just start praying. Talking to God is more like it. I run a monologue in my mind and keep at it until the homily finishes.
