Prayer and places I pray

One thing I am finding as I get older (52), for some reason it is harder to focus during prayer. I have been working on this, but itis a little alarming to lose focus during a prayer.

In traveling the area, I will often stop for a driving break at a church or its chapel for a prayer. one of my favorite places to stop (while traveling) is the new redesigned St Ann-Bartlett TN http://www.stannbartlett.org/ (Fr Bruce did a GREAT job with the church design there), and St Henry's http://www.sthenry.org/ in Nashville TN.

When I worked in Memphis, I often went to St Pat's http://www.stpatsmemphis.org to Pray.

Both St Ann & St Henry have chapels open all day.

Last month, I stopped at the (new to me) St Mary's Savannah for a prayer, while working at the College (that I work for) Savannah center. Regrettably, I missed Fr Tom (he was at St Joe after they moved it to Neely Road location), but I will catch him next time.

Retreat centers that I have visited include: Subiaco' Coury House next to Subiaco Academy in Arkansas http://www.subi.org/couryhouse.htm and St. Bernard Abbey's Boniface Hall http://www.stbernardabbey.com/abbey/index.html .

Another interesting prayer stop is St Frances de Sales/Rosary Chapel with the Rosary Chapel being a storefront church http://www.stfrancisdesales.org/. The Chapel at OHare Airport http://www.ohareairportchapel.org is a great place to meditate in prayer. The Prudental Tower in Boston has the St. Frances Chapel. It is a store/office-front Church http://www.stfrancischapel.org/main.shtml . Great place to Pray.
