Week 1: 12-18 July, 03
HOW SHALL I CALL MY LORD?
Why don't we begin at the very beginning with this practice suggested by John Veltri s.j. in "Orientations for spiritual growth" . In one of the exercises, Veltri suggests to spend some time trying to find the most appropriate name to use in calling God. The name is more than just a tool to call, it reflects my spiritual disposition, my state, my mood, my perception to God and my feelings towards him in the current period.
So, why don’t we practice a quasi-charismatic prayer of the name? Let’s just mention (a) name(s) for God, and keep trying to repeat them, change them, update them. Let’s see what this will do to us and our prayer at the end of the following week.
