“Contemplative prayer requires that we direct the same focus and attention to the presence of God as we would in an intimate meeting with a loved one”

Knowing God and hearing His voice is difficult at most times. We get in the way. We need to learn to let go and allow Him to to draw us close to Him, He calls us, all we have to do is respond.

There there are numerous graces to help us embrace the quiet needed to commune with Him, and to hear His still small voice. One method that I find particularly effective is through Contemplative Prayer. Contemplative Prayer takes the ordinary, a word and makes it sacred and helps us focus on God’s presence, the same way we do when a beloved is there. We are Hid beloved, and He is ever waiting for us.

I pray the guide above can aid you in starting with Contemplative Prayer and enriching your relationship with God.
