- Prayer
Prayer is being “in conversation with God.” But does “Our Father, who art in heaven” really hear us here on earth? If He knows what’s on our heart, why bother spelling it out in prayer? And how can I discern what God is telling me, personally? Countless Catholics have asked these questions, but the Church’s answers may surprise you. Hold on, amid your occasional doubt or confusion: You’re about to discover the key to deepening your relationship with God.
