Encountering the Sacred: Ways of Prayer

Beginning to Pray	Liturgical Prayer
Contemplative Prayer	Devotional Prayer
Creative Expression as Prayer

There are many ways to pray. Each person needs to find a way that gives life and energy to their relationship with God and calls them to growth. We invite you to explore different ways of praying so you may discover the way that is best for you.

To facilitate your exploration, we provide brief descriptions of different ways of praying and some guidelines to assist you. Some of the ways of praying may be combined as they complement one another. For example, after reflecting on the Scripture for the day you may want to write in your journal or work with clay or draw a mandala. Be aware that the form of prayer that most speaks to your heart may change over time.
