Prayer and Christian life are inseparable, for they concern the
same love and the same renunciation, proceeding from love; the same
filial and loving conformity with the Father's plan of love; the
same transforming union in the Holy Spirit who conforms us more
and more to Christ Jesus; the same love for all men, the love with
which Jesus has loved us. "Whatever you ask the Father in my
name, he [will] give it to you. This I command you, to love one
another." -- Catechism of the Catholic Church #2745 |
