When God Speaks to Us Through Prayer
from Ad Jesum per Mariam · host Ad Jesum per Mariam
When God Speaks to Us Through Prayer In today’s Gospel, Jesus teaches us how to pray. In the Homily, we hear of students praying just before exams. Exam time may be characterized as a time to prepare for the test, and a time also to pray. However, sometimes students, as well as others, pray incorrectly. They may pray and say to God, my future depends on this exam. Whether I prepared enough or not, my future depends upon me passing. The prayer changes to be more of a command for God to do something. The Homily explains, this is not a valid way to pray. The Homily continues for someone who did not prepare as much as he should. The person asks, Why Lord? Why did you allow this to happen to me? Prayer Is A Means to Talk to God! Prayer is a means to talk to God. It enables a relationship with God. Prayer is actually a two-way communication. It is a way to speak to God. It was also a way for God to Speak to us!
