“How’s Your Battery?”
An Italian newspaper recently carried an interesting story about a young couple in Milan who had a wonderful attendance record at a particular cathedral. The priest assumed they were very devoted to their faith because they regularly spent an hour before one of the statues in the church’s worship area. He thought they were doing some intense praying. Only later did he discover the couple simply came to re-charge their cell phone from the electrical outlet behind the statue. That gives new meaning to the phrase about coming to church to “re-charge your batteries.” How disappointing to discover that what looked like an act of devotion was actually a case of using the church to meet their more mundane needs.
