A Day of Contemplative Prayer

Following the expample of Jesus going off by himself to pray, the people of God have been engaging in practices that we now call Contemplative. To be contemplative is simply to develop a prayerful attentiveness to God—this attitude of listening—as we go about our busy, not-so-quiet lives. No matter what is going on around us, these prayerful practices help us to take note of how we’re doing on the inside and to develop an ongoing conversation with God, where we listen more than we speak. In this way, our moods, our feelings of resistance or engagement, and our responses to our surroundings can all become prompts that direct us to God and enable us to listen to Him and discern His loving action in our lives.
