🙏 What if prayer isn't just something you DO, but a way of BEING?

In this second bonus episode of Religion to Reality, Catholic educator Kathy Lorentz shares a beautiful truth: "Attention taken to its highest degree is the same thing as prayer." She reveals how she discovered her calling at 16 while playing the Blessed Mother in a touring production, and how that experience shaped her entire approach to faith and presence.

This episode unpacks:
✨ Why your attention works like a spotlight (and can only focus on one thing at a time)
✨ How to create "mindfulness bells" throughout your day
✨ The surprising connection between gratitude journaling and prayer
✨ How to help young people (and ourselves!) navigate digital distractions
✨ Why even driving past struggling communities can become a prayer

This episode will transform how you think about prayer, attention, and living in God's presence every single moment.
