Prayer comes from the heart, the foundation and place of human identity,’ said the Pope. It is the whole being that faces God when a person prays. "When people pray, they are communicating directly with God. Our heart is important before God; it is the heart that prays to God. Catechesis on the mystery of prayer, with P. Aurélien Rarivoson.

Prayer is a custom and a spiritual heritage for Christians because true Christians imitate Jesus Christ. Jesus prayed; even the apostles asked to learn how to pray. All the prayers of Christians, together or alone, come through Jesus. Prayer is a direct communication with God; it is there that we ask the Holy Spirit to direct us, who sustains us. Catechesis on the mystery of prayer, with P. Aurélien Rarivoson.

There may be times when we forget God, we may deliberately run away from him, but remember that even if we deliberately don't think about God or oppose him, he is always with us and never abandons us. The way God speaks to us is through conscience. It is God's voice that tells us what is right, what is proper, what is just. Catechesis on the mystery of prayer, with P. Aurélien Rarivoson.

Those who pray are more devoted to God; not only that, but prayer is already a prelude to living together with God, because only those who are used to talking and talking to each other can live together. Christians are people who pray; learning to pray is not a lesson to be memorised, it is a gift from God, and thanks to prayer, grace increases and leads to prayer. Catechesis on the mystery of prayer, with P. Aurélien Rarivoson.
