Pray, pray and pray some more! Our whole lives should be a prayer. We can pray absolutely any time during the day no matter what else we may be occupied with at the time. We have only to open our hearts up to the Almighty God and call Him to mind. This in itself is a prayer. When we offer to God our various activities during the day we are saying a prayer. When we feel discouraged for a lack of success and we turn to God we are offering a prayer. When things are going well for us and we call to mind God's presence in thanksgiving we pray.
Prayer takes many forms depending upon the disposition of the individual and the state of life one has embraced. However, remember that there is absolutely no substitute for prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. There is no substitute for Eucharistic Adoration. Our Lord waits for us in the tabernacle and it is His delight to remain there among His creatures. How great our need is of Him! We must pray to be among His chosen friends to faithfully give Him homage and make reparation for the coldness and indifference He is shown in the Blessed Sacrament.
Sincerely in Christ,
Rev. Jeffery A. Fasching
