Breath prayers: spur of the moment prayers you quietly say in the moment you think them.

"Thank you, God for .... hot running water whem I'm feeling sick"

     .... seeing that child smile"

     .... my favorite flower"

     .... a good night's rest"

     .... coming to me in the Eucharist"

     .... life in America"

- Reflecting on how everything comes from God;

- Meditating on how not to be upset at the troubles in our lives, but bearing all things patiently.

- Be able to pray this in solitude AND in a group setting

- Be able to thank God for your trials and difficulties, 

seeing that "all things work together for those who love God". Romans 8:28

Songs worth learning:

Now Thank We All Our God

For the Beauty of the Earth

For the Fruits of This Creation

The highest form of prayer is the mass. In fact, the word "Eucharist" means thanksgiving.

Work towards assisting in the mass, and reach out to someone when the Holy Spirit moves you.
