Joys of childhood

I think doing anything as a ritual tends to rob the gravity of the task. Like we brush our teeth and we are not thinking of how we are brushing but our mind wavers in other directions. So remembering god, even if for a few seconds is a good policy but my prayers are authentic and my own and for whoever I wish to pray for including me, at that point of time, and an attempt to thank god. Its not easy mind you, thanking god bit, that too every day because there are always comparisons and desires. But well, an attempt to count what positive I received in 24 hours makes up my prayer.

I'm Protestant, and my church is celebrating many days this week. Unfortunately, my taxes are keeping me from getting to all those services.

Complete opposite for me apart from the Prayers we said at School and the Hymns we sang every School Day and on Friday it was Vespers and away through the School gates. Prayer is much more significant now than what it was then. I loved singing Hymns best it said it all for me and Psalm23. My very best friend was a Roman Catholic but they never said prayers at home or anything like it but at School it was a must then.

Wow i didn't think you'd be doing some activities for the holy week.

This sounds like my husband's childhood. His family were very devout.

are you still a Roman catholic?

We also have our holy week. Where we gonto churches and visit them and pray.
