Attending daily Mass is another way to offer divine prayer to our lord. It is a gift from God every time we receive the eucharist. Prayers after communion are a way, we can offer our personal intentions to the lord. Mass is a blessing as we are in full communion with the entire church and the communion of saints.
These are ways to develop a deeper prayer life. They are simple, but profound. As we take the time to appreciate prayer, we will become closer to Jesus.
