I was misled by the title “In Constant Prayer”. I expected
this book to be give more tips and ideas on how we can be “in constant” prayer.
Instead, it presented a narrative on the importance of saying liturgical prayers.
I have nothing against liturgy. What I’m simply saying is, it is not what I expected.
In fact, although I grew up in a church where prayers are free-flowing and from
the heart and scriptures, I’ve learned more about why people do liturgical
prayers and I respect them. They are into doing their daily or divine office
(simply means prayer), and they use prayer books.
I am still not convinced that I need to learn liturgical
prayers to be “in constant prayer” but I learned something new.
I want to pray unceasingly. And to me, that means not only
3-4 times a day but every moment. As often as we breathe in and breathe out, we
say our thanksgiving, prayers and petition – whether in words or in thoughts.
