Hello, I would like to go to church and pray without thinking about other things. Can someone please give me some tips on focusing? Thanks.

Well, what things are entering into your head? Are they inappropriate or are they perhaps things you should bring up (or offer up) in prayer?

Are there things that distract you at your church or in your private prayer space?

Are there parts of the Mass that you find it difficult to concentrate during?

I hope to be publishing a book on the new English translation of the Mass soon that explains how the Mass is a single coherent prayer and how we can approach each part of it in a prayerful attitude. Perhaps it might be of help to you when it’s finally ready for print.
 
I would sit close to the Altar, that helps some. Also, maybe have a Sunday/Daily Missal to bring so that you can follow along and keep your attention focused on the prayers and readings.

Steve
