I like to read the scriptures for Sunday a week before, then read commentaries on the scriptures from various sources, and then let the thoughts wander around in my mind (so I don’t wander during the homily). for several years I would go to a park in the city and finalize the thoughts into a coherent message. There were buildings and fountains, children and parents, museums and other distractions that could lead to new insights.
I often have a meal (lunch or dinner) alone and use the time for reflection. I find I need activity to make my mind work.
I have found the insights here on the ACP website, very helpful in leading the mind to new ideas and ways of thinking. thank you for a great service.
