Something to think and pray about this week


Confession, or the sacrament of Reconciliation, has a long history among Christians, but is often misunderstood. ‘Putting words on it'- that's what makes confession at once so painful and so healing. All of us build defences against accepting guilt, against facing what is mean or cowardly or cruel in us. In Confession we are not looking for counselling or psychotherapy, or for a warm blanket of forgetfulness to be cast over our past. In our own minds we tend to be vague about what we have done, and easily excuse it. In Confession we try to see our meanness as others might see it, putting it in words to an anonymous priest. ‘That is what I did, it was bad, and I am sorry.' In all our religious life, there is no act as personal as this. The other sacraments can easily turn into empty rituals. Confession, taken seriously, makes the most intense personal demands on us; and brings a comfort we can feel.


Begin the Prayer





























 

It might seem strange to pray at your computer, in front of a screen, especially if there are other people around you, or distracting noises. But God is everywhere, all around us, constantly reaching out to us, even in the most unlikely situations. When we know this, and with a bit of practice, we can pray anywhere! The following pages will guide you through a session of prayer, in six stages, including preparing your body and mind, and culminating in reflection on a scripture passage chosen specially for the day. The stages are:
The Presence of God

Freedom

Consciousness

The Word

Conversation

Conclusion
Although they are written in the first person -- "I" -- the prayers are for doing, rather than for reading out. Each stage is a kind of exercise or meditation aimed at helping you get in touch with God, and God's presence in your life.
