But prayer for peace in Iraq most of all, we are made whole by the peace that we receive when we finally turn ourselves to God in prayer. Now we all know that relationships take work, and when we don’t put enough time and Campus Ministry, in collaboration with the Center for effort into building and deepening them, they tend to fall apart or slowly fade away. It is always Social Concerns has been offering the Friday 5:15 a wonder to me, then, why even when we know this, so many of us still tend neglect die one p.m mass in the Basilica of the Sacred Heart for relationship that can be the most life-giving of all. Our faith tells us that a relationship with peace in Iraq. God is a gift - but like all things that are worthy of our love, they are ones that take some effort: ones in which we are called and challenged to take active roles. What does an ‘active’ prayer life look like though, and is it even possible for people like us? On the 1st Friday of each month, the mass will be “I am not that good of a person. Prayer is for the ‘holy’ people like Mother Teresa - she could followed by a reception at the CSC which will include pray because she was like a living saint.” Does this sound familiar to anyone? This is the kind a discussion of a topic relating to seeking peace in of response that far too many of us give when our own prayer lives (or lack thereof) are chal­ lenged. Our defense mechanism is to deny the ability to converse widi God because we fear the conflict in Iraq. that we don’t live up to what God asks of us. Christ himself, though, gives us hope. In telling his apostles the parable of the Pharisee and Also on those Fridays (next Friday April 2), Campus the tax collector, Jesus assured them and us that the most perfect prayer is the one from the Ministry will publish in the Observer the names of heart - like the tax collector who comes before God acknowledging simply, “O God, be merci­ ful to me, a sinner." Humility (not self-deprecation) is the foundation of true prayer. If we can friends and family of the Notre Dame community just get ourselves to keep inviting God into our mistake-ridden, far-from-perfect lives, and ask serving in Iraq for whom we are praying. If you for the Peace that will help fill that spot in our hearts that we can’t seem to keep from drying up would like to have somone included on that list, on our own . . . we will be pretty astonished by the transformation that can take place.
