All Christians are aware of the importance of saying a prayer, or of communicating with God, both talking to and listening to Him. Yet as our lives tend to become busy, most of us fail to meet even minimal requirements.
This was the reflection of our priest recently as he said the following.
Where do you go to seek God. How often do you go there? All prophets seek a place to be alone with their God. Jesus went off to a deserted place and prayed. We are disciples, and disciples should want to be with their teacher, to a place where we deliberately seek him. Mother Theresa said she encountered the suffering Christ in every face of every poor, sick and dying person she was sent to administer. She mandated all her sisters and all priests to spend three hours in prayer before they started working each day. I’m not advocating we do three hours, but I think it is important to ask: Where do we go to be in communion with God, and how often do we go there?
