17.3.23 Prayer Reflection
Talking about the life of prayer, the saintly person of Pope Kyrillos IV; as well as the renowned book- The Way of the Pilgrim, come to play. With the saintly person and book referenced, I have created three takeaways about prayer and what it teaches us:
1. Diligence: Regarding out prayer cannon
2. Perspective: Calling on God's presence to change our perspective.
3. Memory: Remembering God in everything we do
4. Union: Fostering our union with God through prayer in the Liturgy.
In summary, prayer is so much more than a conversation, or asking God for things. Rather, prayer is a lifestyle that unites us with God.

26.3.23 Three Pointer Prayer
1. Praying for oneself: To do what is necessary to glorify God. We can’t save anyone if we ourselves are not saved.
2. Praying for others: To ensure our prayers consider others’ interests before our own- even our enemies. This initiates the connection of divine and brotherly love.
3. Praying for the world: To promote Heaven and peace on Earth.
