How were you taught to #pray ?

I don’t recall ever being taught HOW to pray. As a kid, I recall being taught #prayers (God is great, Now I lay me down to sleep, Hail Mary & the Lord’s Prayer, among others). By the time I became a teenager I was memorizing swathes of the #BCP including prayers. But being taught how to pray or even the parts of a prayer? Not so much.

I was taught to mediate (it was the 70’s & mom was into TM, so I have a mantra I basically repeated while walking around in a dim room since I wasn’t old enough to actually sit still). I found it similar to the contemplative prayer as taught by a Benedictine monk during a prayer workshop a few years ago. That’s as close as I’ve gotten, which probably explains why I feel my #prayerlife is lacking. My prayers come from memories or books because I lack the confidence to “just pray” outside of dire circumstances. It’s one of the attractions of doing #ContemplativeKnitting #Introduction

נאריש זשלאָב מענטש

At my house we use a maxwell house haggadah set from the early 80s.

"Today, thousands of different #haggadahs exist, with #prayers, #rituals and readings tailored to every type of #Seder – from LGBTQ+-affirming to climate-conscious. But for decades, one of the most popular and influential haggadahs in the United States has been a simple version with an unlikely source: the Maxwell House #Haggadah, dreamed up in 1932 by the coffee corporation and a #Jewish advertising executive."
