Homily: Daniel Pastirčák
Contemplative prayer
"We don't even know what to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with inexpressible sighs." (apostle Paul)
Between heaven and earth
(Autumn series of homilies)
From October we start a series of homilies on the theme of prayer. Yes, prayer is one of the basic foundations of spiritual life.
When a person utters his thoughts and final amen to the space of the universe, there comes a mysterious moment of silence, faith, questioning. Perhaps that is why we chose the title "Between Heaven and Earth" for the series.
How did we come up with the themes? Probably each of us spoke to God in a different way. He thanked, asked, shouted to God... In the homiletic group, we wrote down different "types" of prayers and sorted them out gradually. We had a great time doing this job. The result is the following list: Celebratory prayer, contemplative prayer, penitential prayer, intercessory prayer, liturgical prayer, desperate prayer (lamentation). And finally: Learning to pray.
Let autumn encourage our prayer life!
