As I read this today, I'm reminding of how I attended the Lenten Communal Penance Mass last night and I was kneeling and praying before mass started and all I could hear was the couple behind me talking. The woman not so much since she was whispering, however, the gentlemen didn't even try to whisper. I was so distracted by this that I totally lost my thought process in my prayer. I was very annoyed. It was quite obvious that I was trying to pray, considering I was kneeling right there in front of them. I found myself so frustrated that I just quit praying and sat down. I hated that I felt like that but I didn't know what else to do because every time I tried to refocus, I kept hearing their conversation...<br />Patience is something that I know I have to work really really hard at!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04972350158303041412noreply@blogger.com
