Katie's prayer: Matt Maher's "The End and the Beginning"

So wisdom, be attentive

Steady my shaken mind

My mind is so ADD! I think sometimes the ADDness of it multiplies the second I walk into Church for Mass. I was talking about it with someone, and we think it's cause it's the only time all week that you actually relax enough that all those things stored in the back of your mind suddenly come forward. Sometimes, I start thinking of things I need to do, people I need to contact, emails I need to send, making plans for what I'm doing afterwards, doing a lot of thinking, but not much focusing on what's going on at the front. I try, believe me, I try, but my mind just gets away from me. But there is something that always stops my wandering mind. Once the Liturgy of the Eucharist starts, my mind starts to really focus. It's like I know deep down that a very important part is coming up. "Heaven kissing earth." And deep down, I won't let my mind wander. I only wish deep down, I wouldn't let myself wander during the entire Mass, not just the second half.
