| Resumo: | Prayer is the language of our relationship with God. This relationship must express itself throughout our life, because every iota of our being is linked to God. Prayer is principally not ‘saying’ something before God, but ‘being’ in the dynamic presence of God. In other words, prayer is more a matter of ‘being with’ God than of ‘talking’ to God. It is essentially a relationship culminating in our communion with God. The foundation of Christian prayer is Jesus’ own experience of prayer and his teachings about prayer. Before he taught his disciples about prayer, first he lived the life of prayer. Some important prayer moments in Jesus’ life, which reveal his deepest personality, are mentioned in the Gospels, and these are typical of his life-style. |
