A very wise priest, visiting from Africa, once said in a homily that an easy way to pray well is to remember A-C-T-S:
A=adoration
C=contrition
T=thanksgiving
S=supplication
I’ve never forgotten it and I try to include all 4 elements in my prayers. The Lord’s Prayer has all 4 elements in it, though it is a simple prayer. I thank you for this post.
Thanks for the input and you’re welcome.
