Becoming A Person of Prayer: Part II

In our “last episode” of this series on becoming a person of prayer, we listened to the description of prayer given by Bishop Robert Morneau. In his article “Principles of Prayer,” Bishop Morneau tells us that prayer is essentially loving attention (Spiritual Direction: Principles and Practices, Crossroad, 1996). Morneau then offers us a second, very important, principle of prayer. As he puts it, “In prayer, I must bring this me to the living God.”
