How do you do mental prayer?
Yes. How do you pray?
Don’t worry. To do your mental prayer is very easy; you must speak to God in your own words, as you would talk to a good friend… because that's what He wants to be…
Wherever you are you can speak with Jesus, but try to find a peaceful place where you won’t be distracted: your room, for example. The Introductory prayer serves to tune in to Jesus; say it slowly, understanding what you are asking.
Then read the holy gospel of the day and the commentary, if it helps you. The commentary tries to help you by selecting a topic, one point for your conversation with Jesus. Then ask yourself what Jesus wants to say to you in this passage of His Life.
Jesus is going to tell you great things in the interior of your soul. Let him speak to you. At the end of your mental prayer, you can say the Closing prayer, again slowly and with attention, giving thanks to Our Lord for the good resolutions that inspired you.
It is easy, isn’t it?
