Jacqueline R. Mendoza Poet Dramatic Monologue

Call the Creator of All Father

Lord, teach us to pray …
Luke 11:1

A priest friend told me
All the lectures he typically gives
People seem most attentive 
 Most interested in his talks on prayer
People want to learn how to pray

Today we celebrate the most famous “giants” of prayer, St. Bruno
With a close band of friends
This holy man left the world
Went into the snowy mountains of France

There lived in silence
Devoting his life to prayer
He described this life as 
“Peace that the world knows not and joy in the (Eternal) Holy Spirit”

You and I have similar desire to connect directly with Eternal God
Although we will not likely live the solitude of Bruno call out to (Father Christ) Jesus, “Teach us to pray”
(Father Christ) Jesus responds to our desire with stunning words

He told when we pray to the all-powerful Lord and Creator, we are to call Him “Father”
We are not to address (Eternal) God as a distant
Frightening being but rather
As someone close to us
Who loves us and longs to hear our voice

Lyric Man June 26, 2018 at 11:00 PM You're very good at these spiritually directed poems! Jacqueline R. Mendoza June 27, 2018 at 1:20 PM Wow! Thank you Lyric man, it's u again. It's my job to let the people be informed and I told my Spiritual director before than St. Faustina kept a siary and I'm keeping a poetry binder and give it to him before I die because as you might know in my poems there's a private revelation that God showed me on Feb. 2012, it's a very complicated topic and I don't know how He'll make it work because it's contradicting the 5th commandment of You will not kill and abortion is killing, what do u think? Well just answer it on my Private Revelation poetry if you want, okay thank you again for visiting my poems on poetrysoup. ~Jac
