Prayer is the practice of the presence of God. It is the place where pride is abandoned, hope is lifted, and supplication is made. Prayer is the place of admitting our need, of adopting humility, and claiming dependence upon God. Prayer is the needful practice of the Christian. Prayer is the exercise of faith and hope. Prayer is the privilege of touching the heart of the Father through His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. James 4:8
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Phil. 4:6-7
God offers us, again and again unfailingly, what our first parents were so ready to throw away: a relationship with him, that is, our happiness. From Mysteries of the Virgin Mary

Alison Coluc : Hi Mattie - welcome! I sent you a private message - this box is sort of hard to have a real talk in, I think. Please feel free to share your questions in the forums section so others can join in.
mattie mitch : Hi my name is Mattie I'm in the inquiry stage of joining the Secular Franciscan Order my question is I thought that all Franciscans were the same . I know this other orders following different Staints , but there's different orders within the Franciscan? Also I'm new to the Catholic Faith and very Blessed I found my way home...
