PRAYERFUL
THOUGHTS
There is now scientific data that supports what many have long known - that prayer and positive thinking have a calming effect upon the mind and a healthful effect upon the body. Those who take time out from their busy schedules to pray or meditate will be blessed with richer rewards. The paths to their goals will become clearer. Their relationships with others will grow deeper. And, most importantly, their sense of themselves will become enlightened. As the Roman philosopher Seneca noted, "The mind is never right but when it is at peace within itself; the soul is in heaven even while it is in the flesh, if it be purged of its natural corruptions, and taken up with divine thoughts and contemplations."
It's often seen as just a cliche to think positively. But for those who practice this profound art, its riches are many. Truly believing in the good and receiving the blessings at hand can turn one's frustrations into peace. No one likes loss, but, too often, we focus on its power instead of upon our gratitude for the gifts that also fill our lives. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we stay by your side during a time of crisis, offering consolation and competence to handle what needs to be done. You can call us at 347-3431 (233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton) 24 hours a day.
"Prayer is the wing wherewith the soul flies to heaven, and meditation the eye wherewith we see God "
- Ambrose of Milan
