Pope Francis admits he sometimes falls asleep while praying
Have you ever fallen asleep when you were listening to someone speaking, such as a school teacher or lecturer, your boss or parents, or a priest? And what about during a peaceful or enjoyable time, such as reading, thinking or praying?
People often fall asleep when they are bored or tired. Some people nod when they are sitting still in quiet, even the Pope.
Pope Francis is so honest to admit that he sometimes falls asleep while praying. It is not confession because he thinks it’s ok to fall asleep during prayer because it makes him feel like a child lying in God’s arms. Is it ok then to nod while a priest is giving a sermon?
No one would dare to nod while a dictator is making a speech, though.
Enjoy reading and think what your reaction would be if someone you’re talking to starts nodding.
