Our last two popes have called Mary the “model of prayer” and “mother of listening.” Why is that? And how can we follow her lead in deepening our prayer so that it is more powerful and fruitful?
Thank you to my newest Friends of the Show, Theresa VdP (the extra lift is so helpful!); Lucille M; Patricia G; Michelle R; Yvette K; Mary Jo K-B; and Paul C for loving and lifting me!
LOVE the Word® is a Bible study method based on Mary’s own practice: lectio without the Latin.
L – Listen (Receive the Word.)
Click here to listen to this interview with Catholic Servant Podcast.
O – Observe (Connect the passage to your life and recent events.)
Where do you need to love the Word more?
V – Verbalize (Pray about your thoughts and emotions.)
Remembering that He loves you and that you are in His presence, talk to God about the particulars of your O – Observe step. You may want to write your reflections in your LOVE the Word® journal. Or, get a free journal page and guide in the right-hand margin.
E – Entrust (May it be done to me according to your word!)
Jesus, I trust in You! + Amen.
*LOVE the Word® exercises are offered according to FIAT: the four personalities, or “prayer forms,” explored in Prayer and Temperament, by Chester Michael and Marie Norrisey: Franciscan, Ignatian, Augustinian, and Thomistic: FIAT! These prayer forms correspond to the Myers-Briggs personality types.
