diamondsky's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reflections My friend Meg had just gotten some upsetting news, and I had a huge headache after a long night of organic chemistry. So we decided to go to the chapel, pajamas and all. I prayed for a long time. Probably longer than I ever have before. And I stayed on track for the majority of it, too. I read a lot of the prayers in the back of the red Worship book. I stopped praying for myself and started praying for my friends, family, and the world. I prayed for Meg. I prayed for Carly who had a long weekend. I prayed for my friends from home, and I thought about Kristin for a really long time. I prayed for the unity of the Catholic church and Christians of the world. Then I tried to open my mind and heart to what Jesus was trying to say to me. As I watched the candle that is always lit (indicating that Jesus is present), I felt at ease. Father Tom recommended that we watch the candle if we're ever trying to relax during prayer, and he was right. It was peaceful, and it was relaxing. I felt so good. I walked away without a headache. 11:43 p.m. - January 28, 2007 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
