Let's see. I have one incredible, one incredibly and one judgments. That hardly seems excessive.  I asked how you know they are not prepared, or praying or sacrificing? My husband and I read Magnificat every morning and have some prayer/discussion about the readings.  I know what praying is...well, d'uh... I'm asking you why you think people aren't praying. How could you possibly know that? I know perfectly well that Paul said to "pray always" and my  spiritual director and I have had some beautiful sharing about how that impacts one's life.  I guess you like to create your own reality, so that's ok...I'm sure it makes you happy in your smugness. Nighty-night.
