Prayer is the "raising of the mind and the heart to God!" 

There are so many forms of prayer: silence, singing, dancing, meditation, communal, formal (the Rosary or the Mass), and the informal, spontaneous cries of the heart. 

But why should we pray? 

Start small! Commit to 5-10 minutes of silence, or one decade of the Rosary, or sit with the Scripture and pray, "Come, Holy Spirit." 

As we grow in our faith our prayer life should also grow. This beautiful 10 minute video has many helpful ideas to improve your prayer life.
