Same here. I just recite the Lord's Prayer and the Apostles' Creed whenever I pray. Is that the right way to pray?

The only right way to pray is to pray from your heart.

Go to a Mass.

Also Jesus gave us a prayer, the our father

It's not the only right way, but it's by far the best.

Mental prayer is indispensible to sainthood.

This is just prayer from the heart, talking with God about what's on your mind. You can take a short quote from scriptures or from the work of a saint and start from there. Try to spend at least 5 minutes a day doing this, just sit somewhere quiet and talk to Him, then as you get more comfortable with it, you can spend more time doing so.

Mental prayer is not, however, just saying regular prayers like the Our Father non-verbally, which I thought it was for the longest time lel.

I will try going to a mass next Sunday. I have only been to a few in my life and only on a holiday like thanksgiving or christmas eve.

Thanks. I will try this tonight

Does it help if I tell you that God knows it? rest with the conscience of knowing that the Father knows your hearth.

that does help
