In CGS we often quote the beautiful response of the Missionaries of Charity when they were asked why they chose to implement CGS in their homes and in the formation of their sisters. "Because of the element of contemplation." But what does that mean? Do we ring a bell and let the children know that it's time for contemplation now? Do we have the children sit criss-cross on the floor with our eyes closed in silence for 30 minutes? No. Neither of these things. Contemplation is a depth of prayer that is really a gift. You can't schedule it. You can't force it. But you do need to make room for it.
