Daily Dose Episode 3: Mindful, but not Overwhelmed

I feel like being mindful of things has gotten a bad rap in traditional Catholic circles thanks to an association of the word ‘mindful’ with the Modernist/Buddhist push for “mindfulness.” There’s almost an entire cult dedicated to mindfulness, but I don’t believe in throwing out the baby with the bathwater (if one is going to use a wretched, but effective, idiom). Is “heedful” preferable?

Regardless, this episode refers to being aware of our propensity to sin, but not letting that awareness consume us. Happy Monday! I hope your weekend was restful and productive and your Sunday was glorious.
