PRAYER Traditions that go the distanceSpiritual practices are concrete and specific. They are consciously chosen, intentional actions that give practical purpose to faith. Situated between life as we know it and life in its hoped-for fullness, spiritual practices are imbued with a sense of our relatedness to God, others, and the earth. Influences by our dispositions and outlooks one the world, spiritual practices render us more open and responsive to the dynamic activity of God's grace, and they move us toward greater spiritual maturity
