PRAYER IN CHRISTIAN LIFE

What is prayer?

Prayer is turning the heart toward God. When a person prays, he enters into a living relationship with God. [2558-2565]

Prayer is the great gate leading into faith. Someone who prays no longer lives on his own, for himself, and by his own strength. He knows there is a God to whom he can talk. People who pray entrust themselves more and more to God. Even now they seek union with the one whom they will encounter one day face to face. Therefore, the effort to pray daily is part of Christian life. Of course, one cannot learn to pray in the same way one learns a technique. As strange as it sounds, prayer is a gift one obtains through prayer.

For me, prayer is a surge of the heart; it is a simple look turned toward heaven, it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and joy.
ST. THÉRÈSE OF LISIEUX

(1873-1897)

The desire to pray is already a prayer.
GEORGES BERNANOS
(1888-1948, French writer)

Do what you can, and pray for what you cannot, and so God will grant you the ability to do it.
ST. AUGUSTINE

(354-430)
