    We are called to pray each and every day, to enter into conversation with God but sometimes it can seem difficult to know what to say. How does one enter into prayer? Is it really as complicated as it seems?
    Today Fr. Gregory Pine O.P., offers us some simple instructions from the wisdom of St. Francis De Sales for lifting our heart and mind to the Lord and entering into that most necessary and important dialogue with our beloved.

    I’m currently in a season where prayer not only feels dry, but I feel repulsed by it. It takes a lot of effort to actually sit down and spend time with the Lord. Please pray for me that I can get through it and continue communing with God.

    Main points:
    1. Place yourself in the presence of God
    2. Ask God for inspiration
    3. Translate insights into works of heart (affections or resolutions)
    4. Thank for graces received, ask for graces, tie into spiritual bouquet

    I listened to the Introduction to the Devout Life on Hallow...It is magnificent. I then ordered the book and savor reading a little bit every day. It's hard to believe it was written in the early 1600s; it's completely timely and relevant.

      @@rjskeptic5273 I am so happy to hear from you. “The organ of Orthodox epistemology is the purified nous.” That is to say, as Christ said, that the pure in heart will see God. Therefore, one must first purify oneself, then one is illuminated and may experience vision of God (theoria), and finally one is deified, wherein we become partakers of the divine nature. This is an empirical science, if you like, that we must experience for ourselves; therein lies your proof!

    I don’t know if this is relevant, but after a long absence from the Church of my youth, taught by French nuns, I have returned to praying in French. It makes me feel more connected than in English, even though I have not spoken this language for many, many years. It just feels more natural? Jeanne ( retired RN)

    Dia duit. Most Holy Trinity indwells and groans for us. Prayer is entering dialogue of The Trinity per Fr Folsom, OSB, on praying without ceasing. St de Sales admits he's derivative. Everyone has their fav charisms.Saying not all can meditate struck as odd but perhaps dealing with more illiterate his era. Still theres always art.
