The perfect prayer practice
Whenever my work schedule allows, I make my way over to St. Thomas the Apostle Church in Delmar on Friday afternoon for a much-needed dose of peace in the form of Adoration. I’ve come to love it so much that I write it on my calendar, a reality that is a blessed surprise and grace.
