LET US PRAY...

As many of you know, I am an author of Catholic prayer books. One of the best ways to know Jesus more intimately and show our love for Him is through prayer. Prayer keeps us focused on the spiritual life and opens a channel for grace so He can make His presence known to us.

Today's thought:

Bishop Lancelot Andrewes (1555-1626) of Winchester England composed for his own personal use some of the most beautiful prayers ever published. Blessed Cardinal Newman also used these prayers. The collection, published after his death, contain morning and evening prayers, as well as prayers for each day of the week. It is written in Elizabethan English - think King James version of the 23rd psalm. See Amazon.com for "Lancelot Andrewes and His Private Devotions."

--------------------------------

MORE PRAYERS POSTED IN MY BLOGS THIS WEEK:

Let us always choose life!

"For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother’s womb." {Psalm 138:13} (World English Bible translation)

Dear Lord, from the moment I was conceived in my mother's womb, you blessed me and reserved a place for me in your kingdom after my earthly pilgrimage. May we all experience the joy of living the full life you planned for us. May our life bring you glory. Amen.

"Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. And before you went forth from the womb, I sanctified you." {Jeremiah 1:5}

Dear Lord, help us, your children, to hold life precious from conception in the womb until natural death. Forgive us, Father, for ignoring the cries of millions of our murdered brothers and sisters. Have mercy on us at the mighty judgment seat of Christ. Amen.

"Thus says the Lord, who made and formed you, your Helper from the womb: Do not be afraid, Jacob, my servant and my most righteous, whom I have chosen." {Isaiah 44:2}

Dear Lord, may we always be grateful that you have been our constant companion and helper since the moment we were conceived in our mother's womb. Blessed be God forever. Amen.

"To me, today at age 61, all prayer by the humble or highly placed has one thing in common: supplication for strength and inspiration to carry on the best impulses which should bind us together for a better world. Without such inspiration we would rapidly deteriorate and finally perish." Walt Disney (Source: startedbyamouse.com)
