A prayer that comes from the heart changes everything. No matter where you are, no matter what the circumstances may be, a prayer is your own way of communicating with God. Through prayer, we humbly talk to our Creator. To glorify His wonderful creation, to thank Him for the blessing of life, to ask for His never ending forgiveness and to seek for His guidance and love. I remember a simple prayer taught to us by our dear Alma Mater, Adamson University, and let me share to you this humble prayer that until now, I always keep in me where ever I go: Dear Lord, Teach me the things that are important: To be generous with Your gifts, Compassionate to those who have less, Just in the face of unfair circumstances, True when the world's values contradict my own, Gracious when things don't go my way, And magnanimous when they do. May nothing else matter Except Faith in Your goodness, my neighbor's and mine, Hope that things can get better, And Charity that always set things right. May Your special Love for the Poor, The mark of my uniquely Vincentian education, Be the work I excel in, The standard I constantly refer to, And my courage when I meet You someday. With Mary, our Mother, and St. Vincent de Paul, Amen. Prayer is an invisible string that speaks our hearts to God. Even in the most tragic moment of our lives, a simple prayer that manifests our faith can be heard by our Loving Creator. There are many prayers taught in school and by the church. However, as for my own opinion, the most precious prayer is the one that comes dearly from the heart.

Some people would say that there are things which are better left unsaid. Zipping your lips for a secret, changing a topic to reverse the conversation, and finally being an angel of calm and silence. Others would say, silence is cowardice; an escape. However, silence is more of an option; an ultimate peace. In silence you'll find your heart's words and your mind's wisdom. Through silence, you'll definitely curve the strength that you need. Silence is like a shining hope that for a few moments will strike you to be a person of worth. In silence, you'll cry. You'll shed the tears that you truly can't bear. And also in silence, you'll find an intelligent you who gradually stand up to utter the best words for the person, at the right timing in order to calmly say the things that you need to say, without hurting him or her. In silence, you'll discover a soulful fighter, who will leave a remarkable patience and character. Because that soulful fighter holds the best weapon - hope and love. And finally in silence, you can feel God's embrace and you'll hear him saying that you need to go on despite the difficulties. And that embrace is the ultimate peace that will guide you as you sail through. Silence may have different reasons and definitions. Just like the sky that has different moods, it shall give you the best weapon - hope and love. |
