Ask My Blessed Mother to pray with you.
She is more than willing to help you pray to her dear Son.
We need never be praying alone.
We may like praying by ourselves, but I ask you to consider
asking Angels and Saints and My Blessed Mother and St. Joseph to join you in
prayer.
Let them lead you!
Sounds interesting but they may be having you pray the
rosary instead of a novena, or they may just be praising and honouring the Lord
in song, or with your own words.
It is interesting to move from saying the prayer you are
used to saying or plan to say, and ask for the spiritual guidance of Saints and
Angels and just see where it leads you.
Do not become impatient but ask them to come alongside and
guide you in prayer. To lead you, to
join you, to guide you.
It is not a new form of prayer, but may be a new form of
praying for you.
Remember ‘they’ are your friends.
They have been praying long before you started and they may
feel that certain times in your day or certain places you are may call for
saying different prayers.
Do not fear them leading you closer and closer to the
Lord.
That is what their prayer life has done for them.
Their aim, as yours, is to get closer to the Lord.
So, whenever you go to pray, ask them to join you and let
them lead you, if need be, or let them guide you so that your mind stays
focused on this prayer time and not wandering.
Come let us pray together --- what a request you can make
even when you are all by yourself.
Surround yourself with a spiritual support team whether you
are praying by yourself or in a group.
So together is the Communion of Saints --- all of us in
prayerful adoration and gratitude to the Lord.
What a wondrous spectacle!!
We are not alone as we approach the throne of God in
prayer.
