Rolling along with prayer

Here's a word on prayer from Mother Teresa of Calcutta:

If you are searching for God and do not know where to begin, learn to pray and take the trouble to pray every day. You can pray anytime, anywhere. You can pray at work -- work doesn't have to stop prayer and prayer doesn't have to stop work.

Tell Him everything, talk to Him. He is our father. We are all created by God, we are his children. We have to put our trust in Him and love Him, believe in Him, work for Him. And if we pray, we will get all the answers we need. [Meditations from a Simple Path, 6].

Here is a Prayer for Fridays:

Almighty God, whose most dear Son went not up to joy but first he suffered pain, and entered not into glory before he was crucified: Mercifully grant that we, walking in the way of the cross, may find it none other than the way of life and peace, through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord. Amen. [from The Book of Common Prayer]


In peace,
