What Does A Side Ways Peace Sign Mean?

The need to pray that

of P. Antonio Carfì

In Gethsemane, as Jesus urged his disciples: \u0026lt;> (Mk 14, 38). We, too, the disciples of the Third Christian Millennium, we must take seriously that, in itself the spirit would also be ready, while the meat (ie, the heaviness of life, worries, fears, problems, the inputs that we come from an increasingly secularized) contributes to weakening our spiritual aspiration toward God Among the many reasons for which you need to pray, Jesus, with the passage quoted above, indicates a very important fortify the spiritual battle against temptations that, in art, created by the evil one get away from God and, therefore, by the Way, the Truth and the Life (cf. Jn 14, 6). For our vocal prayer is done well, it will be useful to remember three important things that can help us to remove the distractions: Who is this (God), the words that turn (the formula used), who is the speaker (a sinner, sure, but loved to madness of the cross). This scheme helps us to understand the greatness of prayer that allows us to enter into a loving relationship with God the Father / Son / Holy Spirit. When we are going to pray, we must first make a profound act of worship and realize that we are putting in the presence of God to our prayers, sighs, desires, in the Holy Spirit through the Son, comes to the Father. When we pray, He is with us, hear us and is ready to hear us when we ask him what part of His will. For this we need to think carefully about the formulas we use.

masters of the ancient East, we would say that when we pray, we must have the mind in the heart, that we must ensure that the words we say with our lips leave the bottom of my heart and not just those on a repetitive and mechanical (this is always the risk of vocal prayers, for example, the Holy Rosary), and finally, always remember our reality: we are sinners admitted to the presence of God only His infinite mercy.

This attitude helps us to be humble and to turn to God with the necessary humility, respect, but also with filial confidence. There are lots of tools available to believers pray to help them in this wonderful encounter with God
