In personal prayer we get to know who God is and are reminded of who we are as His son or daughter.
When we pray together, God transforms us both individually and as members of the Body of Christ who are sent on mission in the world.
As our guide and foundation, prayer inspires all we do. We continually return to prayer so all we are and all we do flows from God.

Want to grow in your prayer life?
Here are some ideas to help:
-
Prayer is at the heart
of who we are as christians.We can't really say we're in relationship with someone who we never spend time with or never talk to. Same with God.
Personal prayer is spending 1-on-1 time with God.
It's taking time to get to know who God is, to recieve all He wants to share with us, and to share ourselves with God in response.
It is a conversation with the God who loves us and gives us life. -
- Stop by the church for adoration
- Attend daily Mass
- Pray with Scripture – Lectio Divina (Holy Reading).
- Start a prayer journal
- Read a spiritual book
- Consider getting a spiritual director, someone who can guide you on your spiritual journey
- Receive the sacrament of Reconciliation

Prayer is at the heart
of who we are as church.When we gather together- just hanging out, serving together, and in worship- we invite God to be with us through prayer.
In prayer we turn to God for what we need, lift up our joys in thanksgiving, and seek God's wisdom & guidance for all we do."where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”
Jesus - Matthew 18:20 -
