Last week we read a scriptural prayer of Thanksgiving. This week we will try to write our own, again using scripture to fortify our prayer. Why is it im-portant to learn how to do this? Because, when you use God’s own words, God’s own Promises, you are speaking life to your being. How much strong-er can your prayer be when you lovingly remind our Lord of what he has promised you! How much more will he be attentive to you when he hears you professing and proclaiming his Word? Let us then, try to write and pray our own prayer of thanksgiving and petition for the Holy Spirit, using the following scriptures or any other that you may know by heart. Read the following scriptures, reflect on their meaning and write your own prayer using the words that inspire you!

La semana pasada leímos una oración bíblica de Acción de Gracias. Esta semana intentaremos escribir la nuestra, usando de nuevo las escrituras para fortalecer nuestra oración. ¿Por qué es importante aprender a hacer es-to? Porque, cuando usas las propias palabras de Dios, las propias promesas de Dios, estás hablando vida a tu ser. ¡Cuánto más fuerte puede ser tu oración cuando le recuerdas amorosamente a nuestro Señor lo que te ha prometido! ¿Cuánto más estará atento a ti cuando te oiga profesar y

proclamar su Palabra? Intentemos entonces escribir y rezar nuestra propia oración de acción de gracias y petición al Espíritu Santo usando las siguientes escri-turas o cualquier otra que conozcas de memo-ria. ¡Lea las siguientes escrituras, reflexione sobre su significado y escriba su propia oración usando las palabras que les inspiren!
