A lovely post.
Those who brush off meditative prayer are missing out on a lot.
How I love contemplative prayer, after the chaos of raising eight children!

Absolutely!!! The Communion of Saints! I pray to them every night in evening prayer!
My parents, St. Richard and St. Elsie. My holy siblings, St. Alice, St. Gloria, St.Florence, St. Charles, St. Richard, St. Ann and St. Catherine.
What a comfort and a joy to know they are always at my side@!!!

All I can say to you, Dutchboy, with regard to the Communion of Saints, is:
“TRY IT!!! You’ll LIKE IT!!!”

Well, you are speaking to the ceiling, my FRiend.
To: miserare
Thank you! Wow, 8 children, God bless you! One of the events I love to meditate on the time Jesus spent with the Holy Ones in the Place of Rest. I picture the joy and humility of people like St. Joseph; Moses; John the Baptist, and the kind beckoning of Jesus to Adam and Eve as the Promise of Salvation at last came to pass. Sometimes it's just quiet, contemplating Jesus on the Cross...
I can't even imagine what the contemplative prayer of St. John of the Cross and St. Teresa of Avila were like, it's unimaginable!
God bless you and Mary keep you!

Dream on, my FRiend...because your supporting text is I Hesitations 9:11
To: Dutchboy88
Sweetie, honey, baby boy...Jesus loves you. You can’t say or write anything that will change that.

Calling the parental police...get the kid away from me.
To: Dutchboy88
Love you, my dear.
It’s great-grandma calling here.
Not yet among the Saints in Heaven, but hoping to be...soon.

"Not yet among the Saints in Heaven, but hoping to be...soon." Sure, kid...if you are among the RCs, then don't forget you must spend a billion, four hundred million years in purgatory. It is only the believers in Jesus, alone, who will go directly to the New Jerusalem and fellowship with Him.

Nah—I don’t give them a buck.
I’m a Catholic rebel.

P.S. There is no Purgatory. That was a mediaeval concept promoted to make $$$$$$$$$$$.
