Life in the Spirit (5)

No matter how simple, how humble, prayer is how one initiates life in the spirit.

That said, there are other important considerations that are not “necessary” only because by engaging in prayer, and with God “doing the rest,” he will bring you round to these other insights.  So even if you read no more articles in this series – which I’m not advocating – and you pray consistently – again, no matter how simply – God will bring persons and experiences into your life that will, with time, guide you to understand other valuable lessons applicable to life in the spirit.

God’s Attribute 1


The first thing to understand about God regarding life in the spirit is that he connects to us as Community, that is as Catholics, and as individuals.




Psalm 139
O Lord, you have searched me and known me. You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from far away. You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, O Lord, you know it completely.


And as individuals, God wants to collaborate with us. God doesn't want to have a monologue with us; he wants to have a dialoguewith us. God wants to be in dynamic relationshipwith us, personally.
