Luke 6:12-19

Jesus went out into the hills to pray; and he spent the whole night in prayer to God.

When did you last do that? I mean not go to church but go somewhere by yourself to pray. I truly cannot remember doing this in a long time. Between balancing two jobs, providing for two households (here and Africa), raising a family and doing homework, running and yoga. My day is over before it starts. But wait …. Someone told me that if it is important we will make the time. So here is a resolution for me. I want to go off to a park by myself to pray for you and me. Because you are important, I will make the time.

Secondly and probably most importantly, prayer connects us to God. When I was in Africa we used to have “desert days.” On these days we were sent out on a picnic with God. Some of us hid in our rooms but that’s besides the point. Fr. Superior wanted us to develop this love for prayer. Hey call it a date with God. I know you need it.
