At the centre of Christianity is community; we are gathered by the Lord around the altar.

Too many sit at the banquet table of the gospel of Jesus Christ and merely nibble at the feast placed before them. They go through the motions - attending their meetings perhaps, glancing at scriptures, repeating familiar prayers - but their hearts are far away.

I read the Scriptures at the American Cathedral on Christmas and Easter; that's it. It's a task I love.

I do devotion in the morning. I pray and I read the word.

When I look at the Gospel, I see how it is speaking to me at this time. I see how to be to others and it helps.

I come from a very, very Catholic family. We used to pray the rosary every day after dinner.

I think I'm a spiritual person. I don't really go to church often when services are on, but I like going in when they are empty and quiet, and just sitting there and thinking for a little while.

I have a mystical bent, and I pursue daily meditations that follow the liturgical calendar - what are called the 'daily offices' of the church.

Many Christians have so busied themselves with programs and activities that they no longer know how to be silent and meditate on God's word or recognize the mysteries that are in the Person of Christ.

The most important thing that happens within Christian spirituality is when a person falls in love with Jesus.
