We know a lot about prayer.\u00a0We pray after all.\u00a0Even today, we can talk about prayer because Jesus himself wants to talk about it. Jesus tells the disciples: “Ask and you shall receive…” (John 16:24).<\/span><\/h2>\n

We know that after one conversation with his Father, Jesus was approached by the apostles to teach them to pray.\u00a0Then he taught them the prayer that we call the Lord’s Prayer and which we consider the most beautiful because the Lord Jesus himself taught it to us. He warns us to take advantage of his friendship with us and pray in his name, his and our heavenly Father.\u00a0It is something like when our good friend tells us, “Don’t worry, just go and say that I am sending you.”\u00a0Through his suffering and death, Jesus obtained from the Father a new source of gifts and graces for us.\u00a0Jesus wants us to address our requests directly to our common Father in his name.\u00a0This procedure wants us to realize what a prominent position we have been given by his passion and death, that we can directly turn to our Father and we will receive what we ask for, precisely because of the merits of Jesus Christ.\u00a0We will feel even more joy in such a procedure.\u00a0Jesus encourages us, even more, to successfully act and hear our needs from our Father when he notes: “On that day you will ask in my name… For the Father himself loves you, because you loved me and believed that I came from of God” (John 16:26-27).<\/span><\/h2>\n

It depends only on each of us how we use this great opportunity to receive graces and love for ourselves and the world.\u00a0The Lord Jesus, in his love for us, very much wants us to ask in prayer and for our meetings in this conversation to be frequent, as the apostle emphasizes: “Brothers,\u00a0<\/span>pray without ceasing<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0!”\u00a0This is a wonderful confidence for us when we are about to have such an immediate meeting with God, who not only created all this around us and in us, but also directs it.\u00a0Let’s make the most of it, because it matters a lot even for the most serious meeting in our life, at the hour of death. <\/span>God has done everything for us to learn to ask, to thank, to apologize, so that in our life here on earth we find time to glorify our God.\u00a0Our prayers will thus gain value and our meeting with Jesus will turn into a fruitful dialogue, a conversation between two lovers – God and man.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>We can leave such a meeting happy and enriched, to which none of the wealth and beauty of this world can be compared.\u00a0Jesus will give us everything that will benefit our salvation when we take the time to meet him in prayer.<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

He is only waiting for us when we find time.\u00a0He does not need our prayers.\u00a0He wants to bless us again and again, strengthen us, and fill us with his peace, love and especially his graces<\/span><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
