Meditative Prayer

"Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart."

— Luke 2:19

Heavenly Father,

Meditative prayer calms the mind and nourishes the soul. This contemplation that leads us through the mysteries of faith with an attentive heart.

Thank You for this simple and deep prayer. For this meditation that calms the mind, for this path of contemplation accessible to all.

May I find my own form of meditative prayer. May I take time to ponder Your Word, meditate on Your mysteries, stand in Your presence.

Amen.
