Think you're praying much?

Deacon Greg has found a monk who has got you beat:

The story:

70 year-old Buddhist monk Hua Chi has been praying in the same spot at his temple in Tongren, China for over 20 years. His footprints, which are up to 1.2 inches deep in some areas, are the result of performing his prayers up to 3000 times a day. Now that he is 70, he says that he has greatly reduced his quantity of prayers to 1,000 times each day.

Heck, I feel like I’m doing well when I manage Morning and/or Evening Prayer and a rosary!

I don’t claim to understand prayer except in the littlest way. I am a long way off from understanding anything substantial about prayer, but I know I would be a worse person than I am without it. So I had better keep practicing!
