This morning I was out of the apartment a little after 7. I walked along the Arno, and wound my way past Santa Croce to La Badia, my favorite prayer church in Florence. I love hearing the monks and nuns sing Matins. It is all about the Holy Spirit, which is what I preciously need in order to get rid of judgments and critique, which are barriers to prayer. When I analyze what should be done, I am praying ‘My will be done,’ not ‘Thy will be done.’
On this important day in Italy, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, people were praying to Mary. Although doing so is not in my Protestant tradition, I am learning to appreciate Mary. There she is, saying ‘Thy will be done.’
