SOMETHING TO THINK AND PRAY ABOUT THIS WEEK
Staying Connected
Something to think and pray about each day this week:
Prayer is not inborn. It is something you can learn. Luckily, you don't have to invent it all by yourself. Christians have been praying for two thousand years. A lot of knowledge has been developed. If you are looking for ways to help you pray, it is good to let yourself be inspired by that.
There are as many different ways of praying as there are people. Some people prefer to pray with texts, whether from the Bible or not. Others like to pray without words. You can pray alone or with others, in a quiet, secluded place or in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the city. Some like to pray for a long time. For others, the shorter the better. A good way of praying is a way that, at that moment, helps you to live more connected with God. This can change over time. What helps you get to God today may not work as well tomorrow. This is not strange. That goes for most of a person's life.
Nicolaas Sintobin SJ, Did Jesus Really Exist? and 51 Other Questions
We remember at this time...
St. Brigid, whose feast day is February 1st, is renowned for her faith in God and for her role as a peacemaker. Despite growing up as a slave in a pagan society, God anointed her and gave her the faith to believe that she would be used to bless others and bring many to the Lord. She was a strong character, a warrior woman for her faith, and was not afraid to go against her pagan father and give away his possessions to the poor and needy.
We pray that we may be inspired by St. Brigid’s faith and ask for peace and compassion in our own lives and in a world in turmoil.
