Msgr. Pope on the Importance of Experience

"I want to give two thumbs up for good old-fashioned experience, just experiencing life to its top … just having an experience! Too often in today's hurried age and also in this time of 24×7 news, we rush past experience right to analysis. Too often we insist on knowing immediately what something 'means' and what to think about it. This rush to think and analyze often happens before the experience is even over. And, of course, analyzing something before all the facts are in leads to limited, often poor analysis."

In a recent commentary, Monsignor Charles Pope (pastor of Holy Comforter-Saint Cyprian Parish, Washington, DC) reflected on the importance of being still and experiencing what God is actually doing in our lives.
