Learning to remain with God
Prayer
Prayer is relationship: God draws near, we answer honestly, learn to listen and are changed for loving service.
Begin where you are
Prayer is God’s invitation
We do not pray because we have mastered a technique. We pray because God has already turned towards us in love. Christian prayer may use words, Scripture, silence, gesture, Sacrament and the companionship of the Church.
Some days prayer brings peace; on others it feels distracted or dry. Faithfulness means returning, bringing our real lives and allowing the Holy Spirit to form Christ within us.
Lord, teach us to pray. — Luke 11.1
