How do you pray?

Prayer is communication with God, and it can help us cultivate an awareness of God's presence in ourselves and in the world around us.

When we pray, says Brother David Steindl-Rast, the challenge is to free ourselves from regimentation, to look with the eyes of our hearts at who we are in God's eyes, and be creative.

These links offer dozens of ideas. Other suggestions are at left, under "For your spiritual life."

Methods of prayer
An online prayer wall, borrowing from the Quaker "Clearness Committee" to make decisions, and more.

Paths of prayer
Looking for a prayer or blessing for a special occasion? Wondering how to pray a labyrinth? The Diocese of Richmond, Va., has helpful resources.

Catholic spiritual practices
Boston College assembled this publication with two dozen suggestions for spiritual practices -- including companionship with the saints, the Jesus Prayer and practicing forgiveness.

To live by the spirit
To be spiritual means to know and live by the knowledge that God is present to us, says theologian Richard P. McBrien. Grace, he says, is the gift of God's presence.
