A Pause Worth Having

The Angelus reminds us that life isn’t only about what we do, but also about how we pause. It’s prayer, history, art and ritual all rolled into a few moments each day. Respecting traditions like this doesn’t require full agreement on every belief. Rather than that, it’s about appreciating the beauty and meaning in pause, in presence, in reflection. If nothing else, maybe we could all benefit from just stopping for a minute or two, however and wherever we can, and letting the world settle. Sometimes that’s where real growth, real peace, real insight begins.

Life isn’t only

about what we do
