March 13th, 2022: How Do We Pray?

 

How do we pray during such a time like this?



We ask for wisdom 

so our perception of God will be about His Kingdom.


We seek intelligence 

with the hope to understand His benevolent


We aim to be diligent

while learning the deeper meaning of patience


We open our eyes

knowing that we can embrace His sacrifice


We open our heart 

with meditation about our life as His work of art


We proclaim His name

not with our might but His undying flame


We receive the Holy Spirit

not for profit but God's goodness exhibits


Ephesians 6: 18

"And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people."


"O gracious and holy Father,

Give us wisdom to perceive you,

intelligence to understand you,

diligence to seek you,

patience to wait for you,

eyes to see you,

a heart to meditate on you,

and a life to proclaim you,

through the power of the spirit

of Jesus Christ our Lord."

Saint Benedict
