I wanted to add but didn’t

I was given a really good book to read. Its not a catholic book but a self help book. I forget the advice often but do try and actually its helped me with current prayer life too. I assume you be able to get it in America. If not you be able to buy it online if you wanted. Its called,

The Power of Now.

I should have looked up the author for you but haven’t. If you can get hold of it try it. Its about ‘just being’ We have already lived the past and can’t relive it. The future hasn’t happend yet so we can’t really worry about it because it not happend. But right here right now is all we can deal with. Naturally I forget that when in darker moments. But have somehow transferred it to prayer so may be you get some use from it too? I was loaned it from my priest when he knew what my confession was going to be. Its the best advice anyone has ever signposted me to because I have had CBT but that was too practical in that filling up my time rather than helping me to really deal with my thoughts. But this book has given it to me on the plate as such and its upto me to practice and it really has been the best advice anyone has tipped me of with so to speak.

Thank you so much! I know what you are talking about. I do not know if I have ever seen that exact book, but I know the idea behind living in the moment through other spiritual writers and you are right, it is very helpful.

I will have to look for that. Thank you again for the recommendation. :o
