Seen on dads4life.org … “Prayer is the practice of the presence of God. It is the place where pride is abandoned, hope is lifted and supplication is made. Prayer is the place of admitting our need, of adopting humility and claiming dependence on God. Prayer is the needful practice of the Christian, the exercise of faith and hope. Prayer is the privilege of touching the heart of the Father through His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Our small church community has taught me much about prayer, and together we live this quote on many Mondays of the year. I think about God being present with us, in what we read and what we share, in the way we sing together and meditate on the Word … I feel God in those moments.
We share without much reservation … we definitely lift each other up and admit our need not just for prayer but for God’s calming presence. Together we are a humble group, some more knowledgeable in theology than others, but we all learn at every meeting. We love the practice of prayer. And I do think we touch the heart of our Catholic religion in so many different ways, through Jesus.
It is a privilege to be in our group, a new family that I love … I wish for all people that they can find that kind of faith family, however it happens. It is a blessing like no other, because it really is the presence of God.
