Prayer

God has made known that he loves us as his own children. And God desires that we live as members of his family and come to him with our needs.

It is no coincidence that, by opening up our own hearts and asking our community of believers to join us, we began to witness the power of prayer.

St. Francis of Assisi often prayed this little prayer which helped him put everything in his life into perspective: “Who are you, O Lord, and who am I?”

Prayer is being consciously in God’s presence, focusing our eyes on God, on who God is.

God knows our flaws and loves us in spite of them. We are not irredeemable.

Sometimes we get so caught up in the doing that we forget about the being, and we forget about the One who brought us into being.
