Hello Beloveds,
It is amazing how after so many years of being in this world and you visit the memory to take inventory, then you discover that really your life has been so wonderful and unique. This is what I am about to tell you now, a wonderful journey, my Spiritual Jouney so far and still more to travel.
I remember as a child, living with my grandma (she is still living, strong and healthy), prayer was something she made sure I learnt, she worship in a catholic church and still worship there. She always has a loving heart and she shows it anytime and anywhere she happens to be.
But as a child, I tried to understand the importance of all that prayer that is been taught and prayed, as the question arose, I sometimes tried to ask those around me, but most of them answered with some strange answers, like "you don't question God", that is how you must pray in the morning, afternoon, and night etc.
I also noticed that sometimes the prayer is centered on begging God to do one thing or the other, even for God to fight on behalf of us that is praying the prayer, to revenge in our course against those we percieve to be our enemies. I must tell you this, My heart was never in synch with this type of prayers, I wondered how God the love, would kill, punish, or revenge just because we think or that it appeared to us that we have been wrongly dealt with by another person or persons.
As a growing young man (I'm still very young), most of these questions were never clear to me. Then came a moment in my life that I needed to understand what all this live is all about, I needed to ask God a personal question by myself and get an answer direct to from anybody.
You know what happens when you want to know more than what is the norm, everything will become a puzzle, even what you already know appears very puzzling that you would then wonder, why you are here in this world, why things are the way they are, why you even attempted to ask any question at....somemany whys, is what came up in my mind...
I would tell you how I finally resolved the whys........But the bottom line is that...The answer I got was Love....That love is the greates, prayer that exist, that love is all we are, all that we can be, and all that we will ever be. Oneness of heart.
Dear One, I will still tell you more on so many parts I took, I know it is not that important, the road, style, my encounter and the hows....the most important thing now is that Love is the greatest religion I know today (that is if religion is of a great importance).
I trust that your path will lead you to the greatest thing in life "LOVE"
With gratitude and Blessing,

P.S. I do not mean that catholic church members pray in the way I described, I am only telling you about my personal experience.
