Ways to pray

There is no best way to pray... there are many ways to pray. Use the way that works best for you.

For a Person Struggling to Find Jesus

Jesus Christ promised that if you look for Him, you will find Him.

He comes unexpectedly. You will sense His call to meet and to become His friend.

You can say this prayer:

Jesus, please come into my heart and let me know what You want me to do. With Your help, I will love and serve You.

It is very helpful to meditate on the life and death of Jesus. You can follow the Way of St Theresa.

You will learn about Jesus and what it means to be His follower.

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.

ALSTAT

ALSTAT is a memory device that helps you remember what you want to say to God. Adore Christ,

express your Love for Him

and your Sorrow for past failings.

Tell Jesus the things that trouble you and

Ask for His help for yourself and others.

Thank Him for His care.

PC Prayer

The Internet can give you quick access to many prayers and devotions. And there is no book to hold.

Praying the Rosary

Mary can never be separated from her Son gives the rosary its special place in Catholic prayer. She brings Jesus to us and is the special Mother of us all.

The mysteries of the rosary help us to journey with Mary in her Son's life, death and Resurrection and glory in heaven.

Litanies

The litanies are a like beautiful stained glass windows which reflect the majesty and beauty of God.

They are prayers of praise and petitions. They move us to thank God for His mercy and love. See Litany of the Sacred Heart.

Light a Candle

Lighting a candle and saying a short prayer is a wonderful way to remember loved ones or to pray for special intentions.

Healing Prayers

Each of these different ways takes us beyond words into a deeper communication with Jesus.
