MORE from Pope Francis on 'Prayer'
(This comment appeared in the June/July 2013 issue of INSIDE THE VATICAN -- www.insidethevatican. It is written by Angela Ambrogetti and appeared in an article entitled: Homilies from the Heart ; pp. 12-13.)
Pope Francis is creating his own small school of prayer. He encourages all Catholics to engage in "a courageous prayer," a prayer that "struggles to achieve a miracle, not prayers of courtesy. 'Ah, I will pray for you.' I say an Our Father, a Hail Mary, and then I forget.
No: a courageous prayer, like that of Abraham, who struggled with the Lord to save a city; like that of Moses, who held his hands high and tired himself out, praying to the Lord; like that of many people, so many people who have faith and pray with faith."
