Scripture, Reflection and Prayer for Monday, August 31, 2009

He told them a parable about the need for them to pray always and never to lose heart.
-Lk 18:1

Reflection: Pray always--here is what these words mean: Either prayer must always be on our lips to as for some grace. Or it must be in our heart in the desire for this grace. Or it must be in our works, which are a preparation for efficacious prayer.
-St. Bonaventure

Prayer: Heavenly Father, teach me the value of praying always. Grant that every event of my life may be the occasion for praying--with my lips, my heart, or my works.

From: Everyday Is A Gift (Catholic Book Publishing Corp., New York)
