The Chair

The daughter of a man asked the priest to come to his house to say a prayer for his father who was very sick. When the priest came to the sick room, he found this man in his bed with his head raised by a couple of pillows. There was a chair next to his bed, so the priest assumed that the man knew that he would come to see him. -I guess that he was waiting for me, he said. -No, who are you?, the man said. -I am the priest that his daughter called so you pray with you, when I saw the empty chair beside his bed I figured you knew that I was coming to see him. -oh yes, Chair, said the sick man. Do you mind closing the door?, the surprised priest was closed.

Never said this to anyone, but I have spent my whole life without knowing how to pray. When I’ve been in the Church have always listened to the subject of prayer, that you should pray and the benefits that brings, etc., but always this sentences me entered by one ear and came out on the other, because I don’t have idea of how to do it, then long ago abandoned altogether prayer. -This has been the case in me until about four years ago, when talking with my best friend told me: Jose. This prayer is simply having a conversation with God. This is how I suggest you do it: you sit in a Chair and place another empty chair opposite yours, then with faith you look God sitting in front of you.

It is not something crazy do it because told us: – I will be always with you. Therefore, you talk and listen, in the same way how you’re doing it with me right now. It is so I did it some and I liked it so much that I’ve continued doing about two hours a day since then. I am always very careful that I will not see my daughter because I immediately internaria in the House of fools. The priest felt a great emotion to hear this and told Joseph that they had been doing was very good and that do not cease to do so; then made a prayer with him, spread you a blessing, the holy oils and went to his parish. Two days later, the daughter of Jose call the priest to tell him that his father had died. -Does the died in peace? -Yes, when I left the House to that of the two afternoon he called me and I went to see him to his bed, told me all that I wanted and gave me a kiss. When I returned to shop an hour later as I found it dead. But there is something strange in this regard of his death, because apparently just before his death approached the Chair that was next to her bed and laid his head on it, because I found it so. -What you believe that this can mean? -The priest dried the tears of emotion and responded to him:-hopefully that all could go that way.
