"At first, form is needed.
Then doubt and inhibition must be dispelled.
Eventually, form is celebrated with joy,
And expression becomes formless."
As a Catholic, I have always been drawn to formal prayers, because they give me structure and focus and a sense of wholeness or completeness in my approach to God. They allow me to part with a focus on myself, and adjust to the pursuit of higher things. At the same time, I recognize that my journey with and approach to Him will not truly be complete or whole until I feel comfortable to be before him in the fullness of my humanity. May the formal prayers I so love and depend on help me strengthen my confidence in my approach to Him every day.
