Alex...when you pray from the heart you will feel joy and peace...you will just feel it! It will be apart of you and actually, when you pray out of sorrow as well, you will just feel it. It's an emotional thing. It doesn't mean you will cry though usually people do. The prayers done out of lip service are those you don't put much time or thought into. You could be praying and it would be like you were talking about the weather with someone. There is no feeling nor true connection to God. You will know the difference. One can say the Rosary with true emotion(from the heart) and just feel the love while saying it! When saying prayers sometimes it is very hard to connect with God because ole hairy legs(the evil one) will try to make you not pray but with determination keep on...I believe those are powerful prayers even though they may not feel like it because you are trying very hard to overcome not praying. And God listens to ALL prayers! And Alex, welcome aboard to the forum!!!!
Feel free to ask away! I know there will be others who will answer your questions too...many good people reside on this forum...all knowledgable! Pippy
