Quote by Bishop Robert Morneau on Prayer
"On our spiritual journey, we all need mentors and models. So we turn to the saints and prophets, to theologians and religious, to faith-filled people to understand the various dimensions of our life in God, especially in our need to learn about the nature and methodologies of prayer. And, of course, we turn to Jesus, who is the teacher of prayer and the one we are to emulate.
What does prayer do, we may ask? This mutual dialogue deepens our relationship with God; it fosters unity and intimacy. Prayer refines the heart and broadens the intellect. Prayer reveals our true self before the living and true God. Prayer basically does one thing: connects us to the truth, the Truth who is Jesus."
