Here are some quotes about prayer that were published in the magazine “Alive Now” September/October ’98….
~”To pray is to change. Prayer is the central avenue God uses to transform us.” Richard J. Foster
~”Prayer is an invitation to recognize holiness, and to utter simple words- ‘Holy, Holy, Holy’ – in response….It is an ordinary experience lived with gratitude and wonder.” Kathleen Norris
~” Prayer is the raising of the mind and heart to God.” The Baltimore Catechism
~” Prayer is a state of continual gratitude.” St. John of Kronstadt
~”Prayer is a participation in willing God’s will.” Marjorie J. Thompson
Thoughts to ponder:
Which of these speak most strongly to you?
Which ones help you to see prayer in a new way?
What else does prayer mean to you?

All good quotes but Foster’s quote touches me because I know it to be true. I try to live Kathleen Norris’ quote and am excited as well as grateful that I will be attending a seminar she is presenting at Laity Lodge next Thursday-Sunday, Nancy.

I like all of the quotes and speak the truth of prayer but I went back to St. John of Kronstadt. I have so enjoyed your blog, Nancy!! Many blessings!

Prayer is like breath to me; a constant connection to God that is essential for life. Breathe in and be filled anew with the Holy Spirit. Breathe out and release the things we want to be free of.
