The Mystery of Prayer
If you think of prayer simply speaking at God or jumping through a set of structured hoops, then it may not be long before your abandoned prayer altogether. In contrast, the phrase, pray without ceasing that the Apostle Paul uses in his letter to the church in Thessalonians literally translates come to rest. Contemplative prayer is defined as a wordless, trusting, opening of self to the divine presence. This type of conversation with God abandons a formulaic approach to prayer.
