“The best way to pray is to take the time.” -Thomas Merton
Prayer Prompts: (Say before praying or reading the Bible)
Come, Holy Spirit, teach me how to pray, interpret the Scriptures for me so I may know the Truth about who God the Father is and who God the Son is, so I may know the Truth about who I am.
“Speak Lord, your servant is listening.” -1 Samuel 10
“Wherever two or three are gathered together in my name, I am in the midst of them.” MT 18:20
Ways to Pray
1. On your knees in front of a crucifix (sounds simple but when is the last time you have been caught praying in front of your crucifix on your knees)
2. Rise with the words of the “Our Father” as your first thoughts
3. Personal Prayer-Talk to God like you are texting a friend
4. Silence with the Scriptures-Write reflections down, the Holy Spirit is fully alive in you ready to tell you what Christ wants you to know in each moment of your life
5. Adoration-find a spiritual book to read, God speaks loud in Adoration bring a pen and notebook
6. Rosary-Devotion to Mary is essential, a daily rosary and Marian consecration have been the greatest tools for my battle with sin/Satan and drawing closer to Christ, do rosary walks
7. Read a book on the Eucharist before you go to Mass or while at Mass
8. Watch Pope Francis General Audience so you know what Christ on earth in the person of the Pope is saying to you.
9. Stations of the Cross, bring your friends and family
10. Liturgy of the Hours-daily if possible
11. Keep a spiritual book in the car, on your nightstand, wherever you sit to relax in the evening
12. Devotion to St. Joseph
