Reflection paper based on the theme: "Prayer, the Eucharist, and Me"

In my own definition of prayer, it promotes harmony in all areas of our life,

including church, work, play, communication, relationships, issues of race, gender, and
community. Inner peace is a necessary requirement for peace with others in the world.
Personal experience is where the faith of integrity finds its truth. Religion is nothing
more than a theory or philosophy without a personal relationship with God. Through
faith and personal experience, prayer connects us to God. The need to distinguish
between a real encounter with God and a mental conception of God is like the need to
distinguish between the Christ of the Christian Bible and the metaphysical, frequently
romanticized Christ created by contemporary society. This meditation aspect of prayer is
excellently portrayed by the life and words of Jesus. He served as a role model for
humanity, showing them what mindfulness really is and how it should be practiced. The
difficulties that we all experience daily are deeply ingrained in prayer as mindfulness.
But prayer also connects and unites us to the entire world as a God-centered attitude of
mindfulness, helping us transition from a life of fragmentation and separation to one of
wholeness and integration with God's cosmos.
Before the pandemic every Sunday I go to church to talk to God, and ask for
forgiveness of my sins, thanking him for the blessings that he provided to me and for the
guidance of my family. Then the pandemic happened the mass is canceled, and the
only way to join the mass is through online mass but it didn’t stop me from having faith
in God. Watching worship songs really helps me to nourish my spiritual life because
music helps us engage emotionally with the words we're singing also it can strengthen
our faith in God. It gives us time to think about the words more carefully.  Music has a
way of piercing into the deep parts of our souls. I also have a small altar in my room and
another family altar in the living room. These statues and images of Santo Niño, Mother
Mary, and Saint Vicente Ferrer are vintage statues from my grandparents. This shows
the long years of the devotion of my family to the Lord.
We also use it on Sundays, special occasions, and when doing a rosary. This is also a
place where the family gathered together and prays to the Lord. Christianity as a whole,
prayer is life, presence, and strength. The gift of prayer comes from the Spirit, just like
faith, hope, and love do. With the help of prayer, one might develop a sense of
community, experience deep inner peace and joy, and realize the promise of fully
integrating into God's kingdom when Christ returns.
Then, thanks to our religion, we get a special and precious chance to spend time with
our Lord. We can get to know Christ, the Lord with us, more deeply via prayer and
meditation. The Lord is present to us in a variety of ways, including the Word of God
that is preached to us by the priest, the priest's person, the sacraments of the Church,
and the people he gathers for worship. In particular, He is present in the Eucharist.
The Holy Eucharist is comparable to the perfect and complete reflection of a man in
every shattered fragment of a mirror. The image is the reality in this instance, and it is
worth far more than a thousand words or a thousand times as many words—could ever
be. The Unlimited Word of God is worth one Word. There is no literary technique that
can fully depict the true presence of God in the Eucharist. It is unimaginably greater
than anything the imagination could create or hold. Even we cannot comprehend it.
According to the Catholic Church's Catechism, the Eucharist strengthens the kinship
between Christ and the communicant. An intimate union of hearts occurs at the time of
receipt. The central themes of Christianity center on Jesus' life, death, and resurrection
according to Christian doctrine.
The gift of genuine inner peace is one of the most obvious indications that we are on the
right path and making the proper choices when it comes to experiencing true happiness
in life. Every day we make the decision to do God's will, even if it may be challenging
and even painful. Love can be difficult. It can be hard to live up to God's moral law. And
resisting sin is challenging. The comforting and sustaining gift of the peace of Christ,
however, will start to manifest within us as we choose to do God's will during the course
of each day.
