How to Pray?

If your prayer time is to be at work in small groups perhaps the start of your day is a good time. Prayer has a habit of developing into more prayer and over time you may well find that much of your quiet time will find you whispering little prayers over various things.

Family prayer time is lovely when the busy day is over and we are all together and relaxed.

Around the world literally hundreds of thousands set aside a short prayer time to coincide with the reported apparitions of the Virgin Mary in Medugorje. God has allowed The Blessed Mother to be among us to call more of us into a prayer life and closer communion with Him. As the Mother of the World She weeps for us Her children who have gone astray and who have blocked out The Father from our daily lives.

Just like Lourdes, Fatima and the many other places of Marian Apparition, those who have visited the shrine of Medugorje or who have heard about it and the effects it is having on the world come back to their homes renewed in faith, full of the Grace of God, and with a hunger to return wholeheartedly to God.

People pray the Rosary at the same time that Our Lady is said to speak with the visionaries - 6-40pm Central Europe time (GMT+1). It is for that reason that I suggest the time of 17-30 GMT for those who can and who would like to jon in this most beautiful of prayers. We can join all those other prayers storming heaven, regardless of your beliefs. But again I repeat, not all believe in what's happening in Medugorje, among them many, many Catholics. However many, many others of different religious beliefs and none have gone there out of curiosity and returned home changed and challenged.

Let us dedicate just 10 - 30 minutes daily to add our prayers to the thousands of others. BUT let us try to commit to a set time each day so that our prayers storm heaven together. I invite anyone and everyone to join together in  prayer, all creeds and none, in your own words and in your own way. Prayer is a focus on God, speaking with Him, listening to Him in our hearts. There is but One God, one Redeemer and One Spirit, and each of us throughout the world is a child of His.

Join me at 5-30 pm GMT or dedicate your own time and place. When we write something down it kind of copper-fastens that committment in our minds. Set a time for yourself and try to stick with it. Of course there will be times when something will crop up, just find an alternative few minutes during the day instead and may God Bless us all as we pray together.
