Ways to pray
Here are ways to pray that help you talk to Jesus and have your prayers answered.
Prayer before the Blessed Sacrament
If you have troubles or special needs and want to experience the presence of Jesus, go to a church when The Blessed Sacrement is being displayed. (You can see the church bulletin for the times.)
Now you are in the presence of Jesus.
In the stillness of the church, open your heart to Jesus. Often, no words are needed. Just being with Him is enough.
