Making a Prayer Day Special - Adding meaning to the term "Joynet Monthly Prayer Day"
How do you make a Prayer Day Special....Simple .... by having a Prayerful Heart and more specially by actually Remembering it. It is nice to have uniformity of Prayer where the Joynetters all over the world take time out at a particular time and Pray. But i do feel that there are many who no matter how much they try are not able to commit to that particular time. Hence I do feel that it is better to keep Joynet Monthly Prayer Day for the full day rather than restricting it to only 1 hour or so. Topic of Prayer Day : Some suggested "World Peace". Sounds wonderful. But I prefer also dedicating it to all the Prayer Requests posted on Joynet & Prayernet every month. Sure Some of thier purpose may have seemed over, some of them answered. But there are still others which the Lord has to still work in, we may never know. Wouldnt it be nice to dedicate this day where we can lift up all these Prayer Requests together especially since most of them seem to be from our own fellow Joynetters. We can specially attended Mass(es) on the Prayer Day in our respective Churches in Order that the Lord may hear all our Prayers in unision for those Prayer Requests. I am sure that there will be testimonies to follow. If I am not asking more you can also request your Parish Priest or your Prayer Group to offer a General Intention for all the Prayers requested here on Joynet and Prayernet for the month. I know of one Joynetter here who sometimes takes out Printouts of the Prayer Requests and gives it to her Prayer Group as well as her Priest Friend that they may be prayed over. Isnt such dedication wonderful. Prayers : It would be wonderful if there was some uniformity of prayers said. However those who wish can offer the Rosary or the Divine Mercy or any Prayers of their own alongwith fasting can please do so. But do keep some time for a personal interaction with the Lord talking to him and telling him how much it means to you that these Prayers dedicated by you and Joynet are heard. This brings about sincerity and a reflection from the Heart rather than making it something routine. After that do spend some time in reflection as well. And lastly something innovative :) Praying Online: I have seen some online Prayer Groups doing this. I know of many Joynetters who havent met yet correspond through each other via mails or through Messenger. To those Joynetters who do remain online on Messengers with each other. If they can spend atleast 5 minutes in Praying together on their IMs it would really add a wonderful touch to the Prayer day. Anyways these are just my views. Welcoming any comments contrary or otherwise or any additional views on a Meaningful Prayer Day on Joynet. urs in faith Jason Mumbai, India ======================================================== Time is a versatile performer.
