Want to Be Closer to God? Try Active Contemplation
This is how I have been striving to live my life Michie, making my life, my walk, my words, my breath, my sleep, my thoughts, my actions, all in a state of prayer
It can be done and this article describes it perfectly
Its constant work, but its true, that "Every moment of every day can be turned into a prayer."
My whole soul wants this.
Its hard to change over ones entire life, and this has taken a lot of time and focus and devotion.
Yes, I have prayed all night long, surrounded by prayer candles to blessed mother
When I say the hail mary, its like a great weight lifts off of my shoulders
My spirit is lifted up and I feel tremendous relief
I have turned to her with pure, honest love and devotion with an open heart
and blessed mother has come to me and let me know how much she loves me
I have felt her with me so often, she is so filled with love for us
its all true. never would have accepted it either, but God called to me and has led me to Him this way
all i can say is to pray and pray and pray some more, not just written prayers, but sing hymns of praise as well
invoke the saints, light candles, go to many mass services, wear a veil, be reverent like never before.
Make an immediate prayer your knee jerk response to everything.
Traffic jam? Immediate prayer
Loud neighbors? Immediate prayer
Chores at home? Immediate prayer
make your life a prayer
pray for everyone you encounter
Believe, and you will be filled with the Holy Spirit
