I think it's a far bigger problem to think something's too silly or too small and NOT use it as a first step. Thanks for sharing! I know someone that I might need to pray that prayer for today!

I have a huge problem with spite and it is very hard to be mad at someone and not wish something bad upon them. I don't even say the bad things out loud, but as soon as I think them I'm asking for forgiveness for those mean thoughts as well as offering up a prayer for those I'm thinking about. It's definitely a work in progress.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378450001604002654.post-52542135181974320752015-01-28T08:41:53.741-05:002015-01-28T08:41:53.741-05:00I think about what I'd like someone who was re...I think about what I'd like someone who was really mad at me to pray... and then I pray that for the person I am mad at. :-)Kathiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00356075785962669136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378450001604002654.post-40451509415454057302015-01-28T08:41:11.612-05:002015-01-28T08:41:11.612-05:00I think about what I'd like someone who was re...I think about what I'd like someone who was really mad at me to pray... and then I pray that for the person I am mad at. :-)Kathiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00356075785962669136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378450001604002654.post-15577139063370761822015-01-27T23:23:08.801-05:002015-01-27T23:23:08.801-05:00When I'm upset with someone, usually our pries...When I'm upset with someone, usually our priest-in-residence, who only preaches when our pastor is our of town, which becomes an occasion of sin for me, because I get very upset and fuming during Mass, I recite the Jesus Prayer to drive the uncharitable thoughts right out of my head. Which I have to do right now , because uncharitable thoughts just came into my head.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02647220453777040327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378450001604002654.post-65874500810472038692015-01-27T23:02:45.461-05:002015-01-27T23:02:45.461-05:00I love the way you blog, Dwija!

Because I find it really hard to pray for someone that I'm mad at without thinking about how I'm so mad at them and why and then I just get madder. :-P Kind of a "you take this person because clearly I have trouble dealing with this!" I hope there's grace in there somewhere!

You're not kidding about tiny.<br /><br />I do the "I'm praying for so-and-so," too, because it's hard to know what to pray for sometimes. "Don't let so-and-so be that way" or "Don't let so-and-so do that thing I don't like" seems more like a prayer for myself, haha. So a simple "Please bless that person" keeps it focused on them, which I think is good.Torihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036334286142271626noreply@blogger.com
