FROM FR. FRANK:

A reflection on Prayer: How should we pray?

  1. We should pray with devotion, which means that we must have our thoughts on or about God and that we should be on guard for any distraction.
  2. We should be humble, which means that we should not be complaining, as if God were not listening here and now.
  3. We should not pray with an attitude of self defeat, which means that we should not quit praying even though it seems that God is not listening.
  4. We should pray by giving into God's Will, for God knows what we honestly need, and what is really benefitial for us.

Is it also necessary to pray for one another?

  1. Yes, it is necessary to pray for the living, and for the dead, and even for our enemies.
