Daily Prayer

 Day 6. Lord, teach us how to pray in silence 

  During the Sunday Holy Mass on 2nd October a Priest from Switzerland, in his homily he told about the prayer in silence. He said ‘Silence is a beautiful virtue to be alone with our  Lord Jesus. This is the way of contemplation we all should experience. We are having beautiful and a great Cathedral in Abu Dhabi to pray in silence. Lord will visit us in our silence. I remember the word of St Mother Therese of Calcutta. She says: the fruit of silence is the prayer, the fruit of prayer is faith, the fruit of faith is Love, and fruit of Love is peace, and the fruit of peace is service. When we do any service for the Lord and his people, you all should start from the bottom. Let us try to have that silence which will make us able to hear the voice of our Lord. If we fail the silence, will fail in all other virtues; the prayer, faith, love and peace of Christ, we will fail to do the service the mission for the Lord. If we find time to pray 30 minutes in front of the Blessed Sacrament we will see the difference in our spiritual life. Jesus also was doing the prayer alone in the silence before any mission he carried out. We could see many political turmoil in many countries.  We can see the wars between countries for unimportant reasons. Pray for others whom are in sufferings, those in persecutions and in many other difficulties. Today is my 8th year anniversary of my priest hood. My spiritual father told me to spend 30 minutes personnel prayer in front of Blessed Sacrament. Since I became priest I never fail to do this act of prayer in silence till today. I invite you all to pray this way in your daily life, you will bless by God!” We should find the silence in our daily spiritual life to spend alone with Christ.
