With love, teach me to pray with my mind as well as with my spirit, and to sing to You with my mind as well as with my spirit. So that I may harmonize with all my brothers in my worship, and we all share in understanding and spiritual wisdom. In my worship, I carry every person with love to You. I delight in his salvation and his sharing of glory with You. Grant us all to worship You together in spirit. We worship You in an understandable language, so that our mind may join with our spirit. We worship You with a spirit of calmness and order, for You do not shout, nor does anyone hear Your voice. You are a God of order, not a God of confusion. Grant us the church as an icon of heaven. May joy never be taken away from it! It always rejoices and delights in the repentance of sinners. It always works for the return of every soul to You. It prepares every person to bear Your image and be filled with hope on the day of his eternal wedding. Grant me and my brothers the spirit of love and wisdom so that our worship harmonizes with our conduct on the path of Your love, so that we may enjoy heavenly life. (Father Tadros Yacoub Malaty). Training: + Train to gather your thoughts during prayer, contemplating the meanings of the words of prayer. + Practice praying quietly to give yourself a chance to understand the meaning of what you are praying.
