Something to think and pray about this week


How do you pray? What is your body’s posture in prayer? Human beings are like one another, so it is not surprising that even in widely different cultures, there is some agreement on how to set about prayer. John Callanan SJ summarises this wisdom, ‘When you settle into prayer, look first to your breathing. Slow down. Taste the air flowing through your nostrils. Fill your body deeply with it, and then empty it slowly by gently breathing out. Continue this breathing, slowly and deeply, with lips slightly open, inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth. Think of your mind as a pool whose surface, when ruffled by the winds of anger or desire, is unable to reflect the sun. You are trying to find an interior reflection of God’s goodness in your life.’


Begin the Prayer





























 

It might seem strange to pray at your computer, in front of a screen, especially if there are other people around you, or distracting noises. But God is everywhere, all around us, constantly reaching out to us, even in the most unlikely situations. When we know this, and with a bit of practice, we can pray anywhere! The following pages will guide you through a session of prayer, in six stages, including preparing your body and mind, and culminating in reflection on a scripture passage chosen specially for the day. The stages are:
The Presence of God

Freedom

Consciousness

The Word

Conversation

Conclusion
Although they are written in the first person -- "I" -- the prayers are for doing, rather than for reading out. Each stage is a kind of exercise or meditation aimed at helping you get in touch with God, and God's presence in your life.
