Prayers should not just be us speaking to God but should always include space for us to listen to God speaking to us!

I recently saw nice new one (of all places, it was at Costco!!)and I contemplated buying it. Then I rethought it because it would be like loosing an old friend. I believe an important way of promoting the importance of the Word is to begin a class, workshop, parish meeting etc with not only a prayer but an appropriate passage from scripture as well. It doesn't have to be long. Reflecting on even a short passage can be beneficial to anyone's spiritual life, no matter what age. My Catholic Study Bible is pretty worn and marked up.
