My prayer pattern here in Florence has changed dramatically with the arrival of my daughter. We have been on the go walking, visiting museums and churches, and eating. The routine of personal prayer shifts when one goes from solitude to community, from extended, freedom of time alone, to intense togetherness with shared choices of what to do.
All of this is just fine with me. We are having a marvelous time. But I am aware of how important it is to have some time alone for prayer. For many, their obligations out in the world make it very difficult to find or to take time for God. That’s not the case for me. I’ll be home in a week with my husband and our quiet routine, where I’ll have time for prayer, lots of it. "Very grateful."
