Enough of the mindfulness

Dear Editor, Is it wrong for me to say I am sick of hearing about mindfulness? I understand Bro. Richard Hendrick’s point that we should look to our own Catholic tradition of mindfulness rather than elsewhere (IC 03/08/2017), but I think the popularity of mindfulness has now gotten out of control. It is laudable to want live within the moment and try to connect to God, but isn’t that just prayer?

Yours etc.,

Bernie Buckley,
