Christian Reflection and Prayer

Verse

Pray without ceasing.
1 Thessalonians 5:17

Voice

Spirituality without a prayer life is no spirituality at
all, and it will not last beyond the first defeats.
Prayer is an opening of the self so that the Word
of God can break in and make us new. Prayer
unmasks. Prayer converts. Prayer impels. Prayer
sustains us on the way. Pray for the grace it will
take to continue what you would like to quit.
Joan Chittister

Prayer

Though you are worthy of trumpets and the song
of angels, you graciously receive our daily prayers
of whispered words and mundane habits. Enable us,
Lord, to love you with all that we are and in all that
we do. Teach us how we might truly pray without
ceasing. Amen.
Common Prayer
