Prayer and Spirituality

Our relationship with God is like any other relationship. It is important to spend time together in order to deepen our love and understanding of each other, and we do that through prayer.

Prayer is opening your heart to God. It is not only speaking to God, but it is also listening to him, becoming aware of his presence in your life, and meditating on his love for you.

The Catholic tradition recognizes many different ways to pray, and it is important to find one that fits you. The drop down menu in the right margin offers further information to explore Prayer and Spirituality at Maria Lanakila.
