Father Gerry Schweitzer gave a talk on prayer to a number of the Gary Diocese Deacons on January 25^th of this year.

He talked about prayer, and reading Scriptures prayerfully, and the absolute need for each of us to take time each day in silence (even if only for a few minutes) simply to be with God, inviting Him into our lives and seeking His holy wisdom in how to live, especially with the decisions we make. Doing so, we can recharge that which may have been depleted within ourselves.

Father Gerry reminded those present that Jesus would go by Himself to pray to His Heavenly Father often, gaining strength and comfort from those times in prayer.

If Jesus did this and He is our best role model, shouldn’t we do the same?
