Take a look at Part Four, Christian Prayer. In this episode, I refer to #s 2558-2565

“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. Therese of Lisieux

“Prayer is the raising of one’s mind and heart to God or the requesting of good things from God.”  St. John Damascene

Some important points from the press conference:

• We are asked to intensify prayer, renew and rebuild our spiritual practices
  
• prayer is nourishment for the Christian life of faith, hope, and charity
  
• the Church and people of God are to become a concrete sign of hope
  
• let’s get back to basics
  

Look at your week and focus on a different type of prayer each day:

Sunday: Mass; Monday: silence; Tuesday: petition Wednesday: rosary; Thursday: thanksgiving; Friday: scripture; Saturday: Confession and contrition
