    How Do I Pray To You?

    How do I pray to you?

    You, whose sun makes the shadow I see
    across the golden brown cornfield
    look like the shadow of your strong arm?

    You, whose artistry I see in the vulture
    that circles gracefully on wind currents
    that make the huge pines sway?

    You, who blow the wind chimes into song
    and the windmill into a whirling blend
    of red and white, red and white, red and white?

    You, who created all the beauty
    I see through my kitchen window,
    a miniature of all your beautiful Creation?

    How do I pray to You?

    With gratitude!

    Our Lord, our God invites us to be with Him every minute of every day! Sometimes His presence in my life is stronger than other times, it all has to do with my awareness! Prayer is the way to open the door to Him. Why do I find myself fighting that gift many times a day. I love Him more than I can say, yet I fight being with Him. Why, my Lord, why?

    The Daily Prayer of Mother Teresa
    Dear Jesus, help me to spread Thy fragrance everywhere I go. Flood my soul with Thy spirit and love. Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly that all my life may only be a radiance of Thine. Shine through me and be so in me that every soul I come in contact with may feel Thy presence in my soul. Let them look up and see no longer me but only Jesus. Stay with me and then I shall begin to shine as you shine, so to shine as to be a light to others. Amen.
