A scaffolding for prayer.
« on: September 22, 2019, 07:20:46 PM »
I just wanted to share a useful guide for building up a prayer regime given by a young priest at Mass today:

Pray by ACTS

A - for adoration
C - for contrition
T - for thanksgiving
S - for supplication, praying for our own needs and the needs of others.

Truth is not an abstraction, but a person - Edith Stein
Free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having. - CS Lewis
Joy is the Gigantic Secret of Christians - GK Chesterton

Good advice, Alan. I remember learning that little help when studying theology and trying to stay awake at the same time at uni. I still use it today,
