In Scripture... 

 "If you want to pray, go into your private room and pray to your Father in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you"

Matt. 6:6

9.11 - Pray How? 

To pray and to be with my Lord, I go into the deepest part of my being.  A place, a sacred place, a place of love that is silent, dark, the darkest of night, wordless, and empty of all human senses.  It is a place, a no place where lonely the Lord speaks in this silence, empty wordless night of nights beyond any understanding of mine with my active mind and memory.

This is the Lord's place, the Lord's Word, the Lord's Spirit that as a mere human being I know not.  It is only in being in what seems to be the worst part of me that I find the language of my Lover.  In returning to this place and never knowing or understanding, I begin to love the Giver and not my Lover's gifts.

In this seemingly hidden place, the secrets it holds begin to ever so slowly come a live in my very being.  I am transformed day by day and inch by inch to live in God's world.  This is a transformation that prepares me to be in this world but not of this world.

In this way, my prayer that is prayed in the hidden darkest of nights to an ever present-absent Lord becomes a light for others as it is prayed at the heart beat of our Cosmic Christ.

This becomes the place where Christ is inviting us to pray since the beginning of the unimaginable pain and suffering  of 9.11, the remembrance of the Last Supper!
