In Lumen Christi today, students made paper airplanes as a way to see St. Guigo’s “ladder of prayer” as a runway for prayer.
St. Guigo reminds us: “Seek in reading and you will find in meditating; knock in ritual prayer and it will be opened to you by contemplation.”
His four steps help us see prayer not just as a practice, but as an encounter with God, built on silence and patience. Just like an airplane takes time to lift off the runway, so too does prayer take time to lift our hearts to God.
