Prayer, like love, involves body, soul, mind and heart. It requires time, attention, and honest communication. Essentially, though, it’s a movement toward God; it is less a task than it is a gift. We’ll consider the part that Eucharist, poetry and psalms, and silence play in opening ourselves to this gift.
“Whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say” (John 12: 49-50). Jesus seemed so in touch with the Father’s will for him. In the midst of the business of today’s world, how does one make room for the Spirit?
1. What moves us to pray?
2. How do we pray?
3. Is anyone listening?
4. What one or two things you could do at the beginning, middle or end of your day to help you pause and be more aware of how Christ is working through you and to invite the spirit into your every day decisions?
5. In this upcoming day/week are there some decisions that you need God’s help with? What are they and what can help you hear what the Spirit is saying?
