Presence in Prayer

In the Roman Catholic Lectionary today, Luke tells of the selection of the Apostles. ” Now during those days he went out to the mountain to pray; and he spent the night in prayer to God. 13And when day came, he called his disciples and chose twelve of them” (Luke 6:12). I am currently reading “The Naked Now” by Richard Rohr. He questions how we so easily fall into public liturgical prayer which may be positioning ourselves like the Pharisees and lawyers that Jesus referred to as hypocrites. Rohr offers Jesus as the model of prayer, which is being aware of Presence, an as Luke tells us is on the mountain in the “naked now”!
