Furthermore…

One of the Saint of the Day emails I receive (Nov. 2) commented, in connection with praying for someone we love who has gone before,  ”In prayer we stand  in God’s presence in the company of someone we love…”

I’ve started to think of prayer as always a flow of love, one way or the other.

One way, our love is going to God, as in praising, remembering His Greatness, adoring, and all.

The other way, love is coming from God to us as we ask for things, thank Him for what we have received, are blessed, led and inspired.

Lots of our prayers are a mixture of loves, some flowing one way, some the other.
