“Come, let us bow down in worship; let us kneel before the LORD who made us“
Sal 95,6
To pray it is necessary to want to pray and learn to pray. We learn to talk to God through the Church: listening to the word of God, reading the Gospels, and, above all, imitating the example of Jesus.
The heart is our center, only the Spirit of God can fathom it and know it. It is the place of decision, of truth. It is the place of meeting with God. It is the heart that prays. We can confirm that Christ seeks us, knocks on the door of our hearts, and expects us to talk to Him.
We pray as we live, and we live as we pray. The Creator has made us in his image and likeness, which is why we desire to seek him. God is the one who takes the initiative in prayer, putting in us the desire to seek him, to speak to him, and to share our life with him.
Fr. Martin
