Something to think and pray about this week:

What is your best posture for prayer? On your knees, standing, sitting, prostrate or walking (though it is more difficult to focus the mind when the body is moving)? To quote John Callanan SJ of the Sacred Space Team in his book, “Finding Fire with Tony de Mello”: When you settle into prayer, look first to your breathing. Slow down. Taste the air flowing through your nostrils. Fill your body deeply with it, and then empty it slowly by gently breathing out. Continue this breathing, slowly and deeply, with lips slightly open, inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth. Think of your mind as a pool whose surface, when ruffled by the winds of anger or desire, is unable to reflect the sun. You are trying to find an interior reflection of God’s goodness in your life.

Do we really understand our life as prayer as an attempt to reflect the goodness of God? Does this understanding fit in with your theological anthropology? Can humanity reflect the goodness of God? I want to hear your thoughts.
