Tweeting to the Choir About Prayer 2022-11-30T01:13:08-05:00 Kristin Wilson

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

For their short pithy brilliant whimsical way of saying things, I love to collect Twitter and other Quality Quintessential quips, quotes, questions, musings and maxims from the furthest reaches of the internet to the obscure book hidden in the dusty corner of some long forgotten book store and save them for a rainy day post. I just might need some wonderful wordful beauty to express a sentiment or idea in what I’m writing so I created this particular post with that purpose in mine.

Tweeting to the Choir: A Collection of Tweets

Janet@Mystagogy1013: Tweeting to the choir gives us all support and encouragement, which is much needed in these days.

This peculiarly particular post is the offspring of that larger post with a more specific focus in mind from a topic listed in that larger post. It is also but one of the many children of that post. You can go big or go home to this shorter post and pluck what you need from the collected treasure of the Broad Chorus of Catholic Thinkers and similar like minded individuals and insert it into whatever it is your working on at the moment. Or perhaps you just might want to read a short something that will put a chuckle, a prayer or a nifty thought into your brain. And perhaps any truth beauty or goodness may leak into your soul making you a more loving, faithful and hopeful person and draw you closer to Christ.

In this post were Tweeting to the Choir about…

Prayer

CB Book Reflection: The Busy Person’s Guide to Prayer

Zeal For Your Prayer Consumes Me | Kristin Wilson (patheos.com)

Importance of Prayer

**Father Josh Johnson@frjoshjohnson:**The most fruitful evangelist, teachers, healers, miracle workers, prophets, helpers, intercessors, administrators, leaders, pastors, craftsman, writers & missionaries in our Church were rooted in daily prayer. If we’re too busy to pray then our ministries won’t bear much fruit.

Pope Francis@Pontifex: Prayer, charity and fasting are not medicines meant only for ourselves but for everyone: they can change history, because they are the principal ways for God to intervene in our lives and in the world. They are weapons of the spirit. #Lent

Scapular Project@ProjectScapular: For me, prayer is a surge of the heart; it is a simple look turned towards heaven, it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and joy. – St Thérèse of Lisieux

Benefits of Prayer

Emily, praying for peace ��@EmilyKath319: I feel like praying for “everyone I’ve ever met or know of” is kinda cheating the system like wishing for infinite wishes or something, but God is big enough to handle that sort of request so I’m just gonna keep doing it

Fr. Dwight Longenecker@dlongenecker1: Today I am grateful for all the prayers people have offered for me over the years. I’d be even more of a messed up sinner without them.

Fr. Cassidy Stinson@TheHappyPriest: I once received a spiritual bouquet from a parish kid who pledged that he would pray “10,000 holy hours” for me.

In my more optimistic moments, I like imagining that he decided to dedicate his life to prayer as a Carthusian hermit to make good on the promise.

Other End of Prayer

fah’Tim@FrGrumbach: Fear. Fear that God will be silent, as if we’ve already made up His mind, so we’re afraid to ask boldly and risk feeling disappointed. Fear that we may actually hear His voice, and He ask us to go where we may be afraid, missing the chance to go where He has gone before us.

Fr. Larry Richards@FrLarryRichards: The LORD hears when I call to Him” Psalm 4:3 YOU got to know this and believe this truth! He is listening – speak to Him now. Peace

Unique Trivia about Prayer

tea with tolkien@TeawithTolkien: Good morning, did you know Tolkien translated Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be into Quenya so you could almost pray the an entire Rosary in Elvish?

tommy@theghissilent: reading the last book of the expanse series and came across something I’m going to start saying instead of “praying for you” moving forward:

“we’re hailing an *awful* lot of marys over here”

Prayer of Thomas Merton

Punky Mantilla �@PunkyMantilla:
“My Lord God,
I have no idea where I am going.
I do not see the road ahead of me.
I cannot know for certain where it will end.

nor do I really know myself,
and the fact that I think I am following your will
does not mean that I am actually doing so.”

“But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you.
And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing.I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire.

And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.”

Pray 3 Hail Marys

HolySoulsVocation@HolySouls3:

Let’s say three Hail Marys for the souls who are closest to Heaven.

Pray The Rosary

CatholicHeart&Mind@disciple96: Thank you for praying the Rosary with me. I pray that you will stay safe & well, virtuous & holy, & become in this New Year who you were meant to be: a SAINT! May His Peace be always with you. +JMJ+

Keren Dibbens-Wyatt@HoneycombHermit: It may be New Year’s Eve, but it’s also Friday, which means it’s time for me to ask again, who would like to be in my Rosary intentions? Like or comment if so. If you’ve asked before you’re on my list, any faith, little faith or none, doesn’t matter. ♥️�️�✝️
