Beware of Too Much Activity
In his Angelus address yesterday, Pope Benedict XVI stressed the importance of taking time for prayer and contemplation.
Addressing several thousand people gathered today in the courtyard of the papal summer residence of Castel Gandolfo to pray the Angelus, the Pope suggested that prayer and contemplation take precedence in the "surge" of daily life.
The Pope warned of getting lost in the excessive business of daily activities, in a life which does not leave any time for leisure and contemplation. Sounds good to me!
