Let us continue our reflections on prayer. Christian prayer is fully human – we pray as humans, as what we are – it includes praise and supplication. Indeed, when Jesus taught His disciples to pray, He did so with the “Our Father”, so that we might place ourselves in a relationship of filial trust with God, and ask Him all our questionsRead more »
