Yes. Though sometimes, I just sit quietly at the church and stare at the altar because I know He knows exactly what my heart's desires are. Quiet moment lang with Him. I don't go to mass kasi but I never stopped praying to Him even during that period (over a decade) when I had a lot of questions.

^ same here sis. i don't go to church to hear the mass but i pray. i pray anywhere i feel like talking to Him. anytime i'm thankful or in doubt. i pray whenever my daughter goes to school or while she's at school to keep her safe. i pray when my husband drives home to and from work.

i feel like this is the only thing i can give my loved ones (some sort of protection) pag wala sila dito sa bahay.

That's true. Pray everywhere, wherever, whenever. Faith is what matters the most, imo.

^ i do that. I feel so secured whenever i pray. I feel complete when i pray. I also don't hear mass and bumabawi talaga ako sa pagdadasal. When i think negatively or is worried, nagdadasal na lang ako. Nakakakalma. Its like Papa God and Papa Jesus is beside me and making me feel ok. Ang sarap sarap sa pakiramdam talking to them and magkwento sa kanila. When i do th novena, i sometimes do not say requests at sabi ko sila na lang bahala because i know alam nila yung needs ko.

Born and raised Christian, so sanay na talaga ako magpray kakagising, bago kumain, pag-aalis ng bahay, bago matulog, pag malungkot, pag masaya, pag kinakabahan, etc etc.

Hi, I would like to share you this beautiful conversational prayer with Jesus.

15 minutes with Jesus (in the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar)

It is not necessary, my son, to know a lot to please me a lot; it is enough to love me with fervor. Speak to me, simply like you would speak to your friend…to your mother… to your brother. Do you need to make me any supplication in favor of somebody? Tell me their names, would it be that of your parents, would it be that of your brothers, sisters and friends; tell me soon what you want me to do for them. Pray a lot, a lot, don't hesitate in requesting; I like the generous hearts that end up forgetting, in certain way, themselves, to assist  other people's necessities. Speak this way to me, with simplicity and clarity, about the poor to whom you wanted to console…, of the sick persons you saw suffering…, of the person with bad attitude that you yearn to return to God…, of the friends who were parted from you and that you wanted to see them close to you again.

Tell me all these things, tell it to me even in a serious word… a word from a friend… a word from a real interested heart.

Remind me that I have promised to listen to all supplications that really comes from the heart; and isn’t it really from your heart, your prayers for those that your heart especially love?

And for you, don't you need some grace? Make me, if you want, a list of your necessities, and come, read it in my presence. Tell me frankly that you feel arrogant, your love for sensuality, gifts and luxuries; that you are perhaps selfish… or you think too much of the properties of this world...when you feel that you are lazy… then ask me now to come to your aid, in any efforts you are doing, to remove you (yourself) of such miseries.

Do not be embarrassed, poor soul! There are in heaven so many people, Saints of high status (first order) that had those same defects before, as yours! But they prayed fervently and with humility...; and little by little they were freed of their defects.

Neither hesitate in requesting Me spiritual and corporal goods: health, good memory, success in your works, business/job or studies; I can give you all that, and I will always give it to you, and I want you to ask Me for it, if it is not a obstacle for you sanctification and salvation of your soul.

And for today, and right now, what are your necessities?  what can I do for your good? How good would it be, If only you knew how much I desire to help you.

And now, don’t you have any business or anything you want to do? Tell it to Me one by one. What are you worried about? And what are you thinking? what do you desire? what do you want me to do for your brothers or sisters…, for your friend…, for your superior? what would you want me to do for their good?

And for Me? Don't you desire for my greater glory? Don't you desire to do something for the good and benefit of your fellow man…to the person (people) that you love a lot, but have forgotten Me?

Tell me,  what particularly calls your attention today, what you yearn more vividly, and what sources you have to get it. Tell Me if your project/business is not successful, and I will tell you the causes of the bad results.

Don't you want me to help you even just a minimal one? My son, I am the owner of the hearts, I lead them to righteousness, to wherever I want, without forcing them against their will.

Do you feel sadness or confusion? Tell me, tell me, oh, forlorn soul, tell Me what makes you sad, and what troubles your soul. Who did hurt/struck your heart? Who annoyed you? who rejected you? Come closer to my Heart, because I have the effective balm/medicine to cure all the wounds of your heart.

Tell me the details about all these things… and at the end you may tell me, with clear mind (good thought), that just like what I am doing, you will forgive every wrong that they have done unto you… forget everything that troubles your mind, because of your fellowman, and in return, receive my benediction/blessings full of joy (consolation).

Are you afraid...? Do you feel in your soul any trouble/torment, which is unexplainable? That even though there seems to be no reason, still your heart seems to be torn into pieces…? Put your soul in the hands of my eternal/Almighty power and providence. I am with you; I am here beside you; I can see everything…, I can hear everything…, I will never leave you even for a single moment.

Do you feel how some people who loved you so much before, are now turning their back on you or ignoring you and are moving away from you, even though you have done not a single/slightest wrong against them? Pray for them, and I will return them to your side, for it is not right that they put any distraction to the peace (good) of your soul (spirit).

And don't you have something happy (good), perhaps, to show Me? Why don't you want Me to rejoice with you like a good friend of yours?

Tell me any blessing or consolation that I have given you… and what I have done to make your heart happy since yesterday… since your last visit to Me…

Maybe you have received something joyful (blessing) that you never expected… or that bad thing that causes your fear had left you… or maybe you have received a good news, or letter… or you have defeated/conquered some difficulty/obstacle…or solved a complicated problem…

 All of those things came from Me. I gave all those things to you…why, would you not show me your gratitude for all those good things…? tell me clearly, like a good a son to his father: «Thank you, my Father, thank you!» Gratefulness bring with itself new benefits, because the benefactor is very glad when he receives gratitude.

Don’t you have any promise to make for Me? You knew it already, that I can read from the bottom of your heart. Men are deceived easily; God is not. Speak to me then, with all sincerity from your heart.

 Do you have firm resolution of not exposing yourself to that occasion of sin again? To remove all the things that destroys you? of not reading again that book that tempts you? To refuse to speak again to that person who destroyed the peace of your soul (spirit)?

Tell Me, that you will speak again peacefully, and with calm and peaceful eyes, you will look again to that person, who wronged you, and whom you have considered as your enemy until today.

Now then, My son; return to your usual obligations/occupations, go back to the fields/farm, go back to school...; don't forget these minutes (moments) as we converse together in the solitude of this Sanctuary/place. As much as you can, use your senses very well: your tongue, your eyes, your ears, and your imagination; be patient and loving towards your fellowman.

Love my Mother, because the Sacred Virgin is your Mother as well, and comeback again tomorrow with the greater love and desire of serving me. In My Heart, you will find everyday, new love, new benefits/gifts, and consolations.

As a secular humanist and atheist, no, I don't pray.  :)

I do, and most of the times, thanksgiving lang. I've been blessed with so many things (and non-things alike) so the best I can do is be a good person and thank Him for everything.

For 15 years, when I lived a godless existence, I used to believe that praying was pointless because at the end of each prayer I realized that I was only talking to myself.

... But now that I found my way back to spirituality, I realized that I was indeed talking to myself because God lives inside me. ;)
