Produktbeschreibung

"According fo Dom, God is as likely to enter a person's life by chance as through meditation. It is that openness to God's presence according to God's terms that motivates this terrific priest. I am sure that's why so many peole find him to be an amazing pastor and spiritual guide."--The Most Reverend Wilton D. Gregory, bishop of Belleville Sometimes, at the end of the weekend, I'll lock the church doors and then sit in that quiet, sacred space that I have grown to love...The church is profoundly quiet at those moments. Yet I feel what can only be described as a palpable energy in the air. I think of this energy as all the prayers--silent, spoken, sung, sobbed--that have been offered by so many people over the weekend and that have yet to dissipate. I sit there and let it all swirl around me until finally I am able to quiet myself, just as the church has quieted itself. At that moment, I seem to hear al almost inaudible sigh escaping in thanksgiving to the heavens. ---Fr.
