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
