Question
Hi,

I'm just curious. Does everyone have their own way of doing it? How do you talk to God and hear what he's telling us? What are some specific things a person can do to know what God is telling them?

Thanks.

Answer
Peace


dear Matt
    The simple to your first question is yes and no. I mean we all have our own personal understanding God, so we approach Him accordingly.  Some may favor doing the rosary, other may prefer doing Stations or as one feels moved in the moment.
   Yet God calls not only to union with Himself but with others. So we are called to pray together. We can do via Mass and the sacraments or praying some other method together.

I can perhaps recommend a method or practice if you care to share more of your understanding of God or what are praying about these days.

Expertise

I am willing to attempt to answer any question. If I don’t know the answer, I will look-up or pass the question on to friends for feed back. Beside Catholicism (especially the social/moral and the Eastern rites), I am well read on Mormonism and so-called Modern Christian Fundamentalism. Also I study Franciscan History as means of growing in my lay Franciscan calling to holiness in Christ.
