Everyone is called to live a “vital and personal relationship with the living and true God. This relationship is prayer.” Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2558
We can pray alone or with others; we worship together as parish communities at Mass and pray as families. There are many types of prayer and many different styles of worship, but all center on living and experiencing our relationship with the living God.
Four basic elements...
Blessing and Adoration (praising God)
Prayer of Petition (asking for what we need, including forgiveness)
Prayer of Intercession (asking for what others need)
Prayer of Thanksgiving (for what God has given and done)
Tips for praying:
Find a quiet place and time
Calm yourself and put away distractions
Speak what you feel to God, or use set prayers
Take time to listen
Use the Bible in your prayer
Consider keeping a prayer journal
Pray daily
