Msgr. Pope on Seeking Wonder and Awe

"A big problem today is that of widespread boredom. With all the diversions available to us, one would think we would be one of the least bored generations in history. There are various forms of entertainment available to us quite literally at our fingertips: television, streaming video, radio, the Internet, video games, and more. 

"Yet still it seems that we are often bored. The reason for this, I think, is that we are overstimulated.

"The frantic pace of even our recreational activities leaves most of us incapable of appreciating the subtler, gentler, and more hidden things of life."

In a recent commentary, Monsignor Charles Pope (pastor of Holy Comforter-Saint Cyprian Parish, Washington, DC) reflected on the importance of seeking the gifts of wonder and awe, of appreciating "Gods glories and wonders, which are on display at every moment: in everything we see and in everyone we encounter."
