Hey you guys, how are you? This is the continuation of the 3 previous poetry I did. I have a comment for Father [Fr.] Alex Legaspi about this: "I understand that some prayers are the way Eternal God communicates with us however some other people cannot understand the Old English or Latin words that is why He gave me permission to re-write the prayers I will encounter that has the Old English or Latin words because it is imperative or very important for people to comprehend." I've re-written prayers placing Jesus or Father Christ, Eternal to Eternal God, Mother or Mama Mary and St. to the designated Saint. It's obvious that I've been keeping it to myself and thought to share it to the poetry soup poets, Thank you.

Think of a prayer as a conversation between two people Who love each other There’s no one right way to pray The key is to talk and listen on meaningful levels As any loving relationship It is rewarding when you meet With your loved one as often as possible The late John Paul II who passed away said “Pray anyway you like, so long as you do pray.” God is always ready to listen. While there are formulas for prayer that can help you The way you pray can be as individual as a fingerprint Prayers usually use words-the main or major way God has communicated with us There are also non-verbal ways to pray Such as using imagery focus on his likeness or music to glorify him Just be sure to the more you will want to do
