Description
As examples of the many ways to pray, this book contains prayers to pray out loud (vocal prayer) or in the silence of your heart. It shows how you can talk with God, and more importantly, how you can love God. It shows how to use pictures and images-like holy cards and the Stations of the Cross-to help you pray and meditate. This book also shows you how to use Bible stories to meditate on the lessons Jesus taught. You will see how you can talk with God silently in the quiet of your room, in church, outdoors in His wonderful creation-at all times, in all places.
As you progress through this book-from discovering what prayer is to reading and reciting simple prayers to understanding meditation and then to helps for deeper meditation-you will see that prayer and meditation often go together. Meditation is described by the big "Catechism of the Catholic Church "as nothing more than "prayerful reflection" or holy thinking. You can use books, devotions, pictures, holy cards, and images (such as the stained glass windows in church) to help you think or meditate on holy people, events, and ideas.
This book gives many suggestions about how to talk with God so that each day you can love Him more and become closer friends. Learn to hear His loving voice and follow His holy will.
