Selah Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) This is probably in the wrong section, but hey. Just curious... Personally, my worship style is more subdued then anything. I like to use my journal to write to God. I write worship poems or songs for Him. I also play the guitar and piano...actually used to do it for the worship team when I was a Protestant. What about you guys? Edited December 10, 2008 by Selah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissyP89 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Like you, I tend to be subdued and quiet, but I love to sing. I really enjoy P&W stuff, but there is nothing better than silence. I m the kind of person that is happiest just sitting or kneeling in front of the tabernacle, not really thinking about anything, sometimes crying. It's a release for me.

exquisitebones Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 i like the kneeling. it might sound silly, but i feel like my prayers are heard better on bended knee. lol. no, I really just like quiet time to talk with god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icelandic_iceskater Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I tend to be more on the subdued side too. In adoration I like to sit off to the side leaning up against a wall, it makes it seem more like I'm hanging out with Jesus or something. Although a fair amount of the time I don't really say anything... I just sit there gazing at the tabernacle. Journaling is nice too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fr. Antony Maria OSB Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I didn't vote, because I honestly worship in all of the ways you posted, and in other ways. Probably my favorite, though, would be taking walks with God. I just take a walk and pray, turn off my cell phone, don't tell anyone where I'm going, and since I walk where there are no people, it really turns into a nice little retreat. But in all honesty, how I worship depends what mood I'm in to worship, I guess. Although I do have to ask here, by worship do you mean strictly worshipping or prayer in general?

Selah Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 It can mean both, really And I love to take morning walks and pray the rosary There's a little street I love to walk down that's always quiet. I go there to get away from everything and just talk to God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apotheoun Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Primarily standing, with some bowing mixed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to pray whilst riding my bike to work, but it was a pretty short ride so it didn't allow for much praying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LouisvilleFan Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I voted for everything except dancing, although I can admit to dancing at a few praise-and-worship gatherings several years ago during college. But, then, come to think of it, I guess I've joined in the dancing at Catholic youth gatherings more recently... all of the above then! Too bad I can't change my vote. I'd be the only dancer... wouldn't be the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princessgianna Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I am more for the quiet kneeling type but different situations can call for different types. In church I think it should always be quiet however if it at a youth function (not in Church or for Holy Mass) then bring out the guitars and do the clapping!

CatherineM Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I sing. Pretty much all the time. I sing my prayers, I sing the rosary, and I sing in the choir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their middle names were Cecelia, the patron saint of church musicians, so I suspect the family has been singing for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
