    Jesus: A Man

    of Prayer
    What is a prayer?

    Where are the


    qualities of a good
    prayer?
    Meaning of Prayer

    Prayer is personal faith relating to God


    (NCDP 321).

    It is loving, conscious, personal relationship


    with God, our all-loving, good Father, who has
    adopted us through His beloved son, Jesus
    Christ, in the Holy Spirit (CFC 1475).
    Prayer as God's gift
    "Prayer is the raising
    of one's mind and
    heart to God or the
    requesting of good
    things from God."2

    We pray "out of the


    depths" of a humble
    and contrite heart, not
    from the height of our
    pride and will.
    Humility is the
    foundation of prayer,
    Only when we humbly
    acknowledge that "we
    do not know how to
    pray as we ought,"5 are
    we ready to receive
    freely the gift of prayer.

    He who humbles
    himself will be exalted.

    "Man is a beggar
    before God."
    Prayer as
    covenant

    Whether prayer is
    expressed in
    words or
    gestures, it is the
    whole man who
    prays.
    It is the heart
    that prays. If
    our heart is far
    from God, the
    words of prayer
    are in vain.
    - CCC 2562
    Prayer as
    communion

    It is the living
    relationship of the
    children of God with
    their Father, the Son,
    and the Holy Spirit,
    who is good beyond
    measure.

    - CCC 2565
    It is an intimate
    conversation
    with God whom
    we know loves
    us.
    - St. Teresa of
    Avila

    our deepest selves to God in prayers in

    How
    should we
    pray?
    It is not easy to pray. This
    difficulty is oftentimes expressed
    in the following questions raised
    by people wanting to pray:
    How do you find time for prayer?
    What is the best method of
    praying?
    What is best posture for prayer?

    But the main problem should be


    focused on time, place, and
    manner.
    “We do not pray as
    we ought; but the
    Spirit Himself makes
    intercession for us
    with groanings that
    cannot be expressed
    in speech.”
    (Romans 8:26) – Saint
    Paul
    How do we pray?

    We pray by invoking
    and LISTENING to the
    Holy Spirit, and be
    open to His inspiration
    and promptings, and
    pray not only for
    yourself, but also for
    others.
    Jesus the Man of
    Prayer

    Jesus is the perfect


    model of prayer. Jesus,
    “full of the Holy Spirit”,
    prays before every major
    act of His public life.
    Jesus showed that He is
    man of prayer during,
    • His baptism (Luke 3:21),
    • His forty days in the
    desert (Luke 4:1-2), and
    • on the cross (Luke
    23:34-46).
