PRAYER: Matthew:      Let us place ourselves in the presence of Jesus, the Christ.

TEACHERS: TOMAS & ANATOLIA

Master Teacher, with Lent on its way, and with the growing enthusiasm and excitement, as well as controversy, surrounding the movie “The Passion” that is introduced this Lenten season, we pray that an understanding of you and a better understanding of what you encountered -- which apparently is the focus and impact of the movie -- may that happen without more division and without more derision (which the world does not need). Perhaps the movie can be an enabler for bringing us to better under-standing, and thus less secularism and the “my belief is better than your belief” syndrome.

For that we place before you and before Our Father as a topic of expansion for our hearts and minds.

What do I mean by “this hour of prayer”? When and as Matthew invited us all to place ourselves in the presence of Jesus the Christ, he opened the door for us to be in a state of conscious prayer. The other side of that coin is to perceive of yourself in a state of prayer as you go about your daily duties and affairs of life, conscious of the way you involve yourself with it, without particularly placing on your life the mantle of a walking prayer. Thus, with Jesus being here we are assuming association with divinity.

===Lesson===
 
We had embarked upon a discussion of prayer and wanted to return to the topic to help you better understand the process of prayer, such that you would be able to learn to be able to pray more effectively. What does it mean to pray “effectively”?

TOMAS:        I feel inspired and invigorated and hope that you, too are renewed and challenged to take steps into the dimensions of consciousness that will contribute to your growth and the growth of others in those ways which will better reflect the light. Before we go, are there questions? Are there comments?

MYRA:          I don’t have a question, but Tomas, my daughter is in labor!

TOMAS:        That is, indeed, cause for prayer and celebration! Let us pray that the pangs of childbirth will be light and quickly forgotten in the flawless delivery of a perfect child to enhance the lives of those she touches, even beginning with those of us here today who hear of her arrival and rejoice in her being registered as a personality in the Universe of Nebadon, 606 Urantia of Satania.
