Prayer

The power of prayer is an important aspect of our lives. It is illustrated in Art immensely. I believe in the power of prayer to God through Jesus makes a positive difference in our world. I talk about it much here on my Artist Blog.

Because, as I have said, "this blog is a creative outlet for me and my works. When I want you to know something, I'm going to talk about it here, both with the mails I send you and with the blogs. This is where you'll be able to find me over time and space. This is my home."

Most importantly, I have found prayer in numbers - the more people who send intercessory prayers - make a powerful impact, as well as the depth of how much we believe in answered prayer.

Although I have developed to live my life as a prayer, if you will, my life is still a work in progress. Here are some thoughts on developing a prayer life:

- We are all called to holiness.
- Personal prayer – try to spend a few minutes a day in silent prayer training yourself to listen to the will of God.
- Get a spiritual director or companion. Find someone who has more experience than you in the spiritual life to help you on this journey.
- Read the Bible. Such as reading the daily Mass readings every day as part of your prayer.
- Participate often in the Sacraments of Eucharist and Reconciliation, if your faith that you belong to practices it.
- Stay close to Mary, Jesus’s mother. She is the first and best disciple of Christ because she, above all others, followed the will of the Father.
- Surround yourselves with other strong Catholic Christians who help you live your faith. Community is very important.
