Use Your Personal Prayer Language

If someone tells you that there’s only one acceptable way of praying, don’t believe him.

I’m convinced that you have a unique prayer language, and this is based on your God-given design.  It includes your personality, your preferences, your passions…
Examples?

Because I’m a writer, I love writing my journal and writing my thoughts to God.  That’s how I pray.

My other favorite way of praying is walking around my village and chatting with God, going over my day with Him.

One of my friends loves music.  He prays by listening to his iPod and singing worship songs.  He swears by this way of praying.  He simply loves it.

My other friend is a quiet person.  She loves sitting in front of the Blessed Sacrament for an hour.  In that beautiful silence, her soul is transported.  She tells me that she meets God this way, and I don’t doubt her.

For 60+ years, my parents connected with God by going to Mass every morning.

I don’t know what your prayer language is.  Commit yourself to connect with God daily using your prayer language.

May the Feast today draw you closer to God.

May your dreams come true,

Bo Sanchez
