Daily Prayer & Mindfulness

Three people meditate on the floor, sitting in silence with eyes closed, in a bright room.

Every moment of every day invites us to pay attention. We can marvel at what happens within ourselves and the world outside of us. Some of us do this through prayer, others through mindfulness and meditation. No matter what form it takes, noticing and appreciating the wonder of life enhances the act of living.
