GOOD NEWS

For many committeesand work teams, the ideal way to make a decision isby mnsen*s Thot4gh time-consuming, @nsnsusas$resthat everyone isheard and that all hale been given a chanoe to ome to the same point ofview. Breryone "ownd' thedecision and worksto support it.

$. Paul gives a Chrisian spin to the whole idea of mnsen$Js-not formaking decisionq but for livirg m Chri$ would have us line. Ele " of the satemind," he says fur Chri$ianq'the same mind" m€nswe *tare the same

$irit, have mmpassion and sympathy for one another, set aside our owninteredq and look to the intereds of others. o\Nhit," you s€ly, "Does thatmean I can nenrer say what I want?.' No, btrt it dos mean tru$ing others tocare for your interd ju$ myou care for thdrs This is not emy for uq butFaul is adamant: "Have among yourselves the same attitude that is alsoyoursin Orri$ Jesus"

There's t he differenoe. ln t he corporate world, consenE ts is about mmi ng tothe same mind. ln the Chri$ian life, @nsensus m€ns putting on the onemind of Chrid. lf we can do that, we crtn empty ourselves for the sake ofotherq take the risk to love and care for otherg and live in the utteroonfidencethat Chri$ dwellsin us.

\Mrere does sJdr onfidence come from? From Chri$ himself, who loved us

from therery beginning and who invited rcthrough baptisrn to beonewithhim. Nowthat'san ideawecan all support.

de ar PAD Rf,

n My prayer-group lcader b ercouragingus n write our own pruyusfor\* our mcetings. I don't think we're qualified n wiu praymfor othnpeoplc to pray.Dan'tyou need someformal religious trainiag? Wi,ll

our proyers count?

It's given to every human being to be able to pray. On thelevel of the spiritual life, prayer is as basic as breathing is tophysical life. Everyone at every moment has the grace to say a

prayer. Sometimes I ask people, "Do you pray?" At times theytell me they don't. Then I ask them, "Well, do you talk withGod?" Of course they do, at least sometimes. That's praying.

When writing your prayers, I suggest you use this ancient

definition as inspiration: Prayer is tlu raisirtg of thc mind and

Lrcartto Cod. I'm sure your prayers will be that in word and

feeling and theywill "count."

When writing more formal prayers, it's nice to include theprayer elements the Church considers important: adorationof God, contrition and sorrow for sin, thanksgiving for lifeand for God's care of us in good times and bad, and petitionfor what we desperately need in our poverry.

And for you, a final word. Remember that, no matter howbad things may get, no matter how out of control, you alwal.s

have the gft ard power of sayng a pr:lyer. Especially in timeof ternptation*when thinp really go bad-ask Mary yourMother to pray with you.
