ADD

 

The Hail Mary prayer,
“Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen”

was surely penned by someone with Attention Deficit Disorder.

Because for someone with ADD, there is only ‘Now’ and ‘The Hour Of Our Death,’ that is, a point beyond later. Such that this thing must be attended to right now, or else it will not be turned to until the deadline is upon us and it is too late.

Without aid, there is no Setting Apart Time For This Tomorrow, or In Two Days’ Time, or Next Tuesday At 1.00 p.m. (Conversely, with aid, they can be incredibly creative.)

If you know someone with ADD, you might like to join Mary in praying for them now, which might also be one of the very frequent hours of their death...
