as i was driving to work today i was listening to the CATHOLICS NEXT DOOR on the CATHOLIC CHANNEL on Sirius/XM radio (thank you scott for addicting me to this, :) among other things)
they were interviewing a guest, a priest from England ( i missed the beginning so didn't catch his name) but he was discussing prayer and one part that i caught onto was the fact that rote prayer is equally as good as personal prayer. i've always felt inadequate in my 'prayer life' because i am just not good at personal prayers...i know all my traditional (rote) prayers by heart but having that 'personal conversation' just never seems to work for me. this priest was explaining that God gives us just as much grace through rote prayers as he does through personal prayers.
another thing he talked about was meditating on the meaning of the traditional prayers. take them line by line and just think, meditate, on the meaning of each individual line........i think i will do that. perhaps i will blog it down as i consider the words of the Our Father and their meanings to me.
