FOURTH SUNDAY OF LENT March 30-31, 2019
LENT: THE CATHOLIC PRACTICE OF PRAYER by Kerry Trotter March 16, 2012
A low snicker rumbled through the Word on Fire conference room. Father Steve, Rozann Carter and I were seated for our weekly editorial meeting and discussing who should write about which facet of Lent—fasting, prayer or almsgiving—for our blog.
“Kerry, I’d like you to take on ‘prayer,’” Father Steve said.
Uhhhh, what?
I nodded in agreement as he explained the role of prayer in Lenten formation, and suggested ideas for how I might explore the tenet to my advantage during this assignment. He suggested churches I might visit, and gave me pointers on possible photo opportunities.
But all I heard were clicks and beeps.
Full disclosure: I returned to my desk, fired up the ol’ Google machine, and keyed in “how to pray.”
“How to pray”? What sort of heathen idiot are you, Kerry? You simply, as Reverend Lovejoy once said, “drop down and put your knees together,” clasp your hands, bow your head and, you know, ask for stuff.
Bada bing, bada boom. Prayer.
Even I know there’s more to it than that, but I was at a loss as to where to begin. Do I refer to the wealth of spiritual knowledge with and for whom I work, or do I keep my trap shut and quit embarrassing myself? It reminded me of the time I asked Father Barron, “Wait, what is the Incarnation again? Is that the feast day when Mary gets pregnant?” Poor Father Barron. He just stared a moment, blinked, and then gingerly explained it all.
Remembering his benevolence and lack of (outward) judgment, I caved and asked Father Steve about how I might learn about prayer, and he suggested I revisit the CATHOLICISMepisode on the matter.
So I did. And I learned a thing or two.
Yes, I am Catholic, and with 18 years of Catholic education under my belt. I did quite a bit of praying growing up, but usually in unison with my classmates during Mass or after the Pledge of Allegiance, before the occasional meal, as my teachers were handing back graded research papers, or as my orthodontist would wrench the wiring on my braces to a jaw-numbing tightness.
