Month: September 2020
Day 187 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on Types of Prayer (Part XI)
Saturday, September 19, 2020 – Yesterday we walked though going to Confession and showed how it goes through each of the expressions and forms of prayer. Today we want to do that for the Mass. Now, the Mass has a lot more “stuff” to it, so I will be pulling out examples rather than a Read More
Day 186 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on Types of Prayer (Part X)
Friday, September 18, 2020 – Over the next two days I am going to cover specific “times of prayer,” for lack of a better phrase. Basically, I want to take two very important “things” we do as Catholics—going to Confession and going to Mass—and talk about how the expressions of prayer and the forms of Read More
Day 185 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on Types of Prayer (Part IX)
Thursday, September 17, 2020 – For our last FORM OF PRAYER, we will be talking about PRAISE. If you remember a few days ago, we had a lovely discussion about blessing and adoration, and there was a crazy tangent by yours truly about a nutty definition found on the website of the Cathedral for my Read More
Day 184 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on Types of Prayer (Part VIII)
Wednesday, September 16, 2020 – For me, today’s FORM OF PRAYER is probably the easiest to understand. We will be covering prayers of THANKSGIVING. Simply put, prayers of thanksgiving is when you thank God for all the good things He does for you, and I mean everything! All the great things that happen in your Read More
Day 183 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on Types of Prayer (Part VII)
Tuesday, September 15, 2020 – Yesterday we talked about prayers of petition and that they are asking God for forgiveness and help. Today we will focus on a form of prayer that is a petition but is also separated out into its own category: INTERCESSION. Why is it separated out? Probably because this form of Read More
Day 182 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on Types of Prayer (Part VI)
Monday, September 14, 2020 – Happy Monday! Welcome back to the beginning of week 27 of our pandemic learning series. I am your hostess and teacher, Mrs. Flusche, and I am slowly losing my mind… Anyhoo, back to our FORMS OF PRAYER. Today we will be talking about PETITION, or as it is known in Read More
Day 181 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on Types of Prayer (Part V)
Sunday, September 13, 2020 – Howdy, campers! Welcome back! Yesterday we finished up our expressions of prayer, and today we are moving into our FORMS OF PRAYER, beginning with BLESSING and ADORATION. I am covering this one first because that is the order in the Catechism, but also because it goes really (I mean REALLY) Read More
Day 180 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on Types of Prayer (Part IV)
Saturday, September 12, 2020 – Today we cover the last of our three expressions of prayer CONTEMPLATIVE (INTERNAL) PRAYER. This is probably the most difficult of the three to understand because it not saying prayers (vocal) or thinking about God’s Truth (meditative). The absolute shortest definition of contemplative prayer is simply being with God. Or, Read More
Day 179 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on Types of Prayer (Part III)
Friday, September 11, 2020 – Oh good! You’re back for more of our Super Basic Primer on Prayer! Woot! Today and tomorrow we will be covering INTERNAL PRAYER. Today’s topic is MEDITATIVE prayer, and tomorrow we will cover contemplative prayer. For the record, our older sources do not separate out meditative vs. contemplative prayer, but Read More
