Our Lord praying

Christ spent forty days praying and fasting in the desert before beginning his public ministry and he prayed intensely in Gethsemane on beginning his Passion. In this meditation we use these examples of Our Lord and texts of St Josemaria Escriva to consider:

• How and why we should be souls of prayer
• The different forms our prayer can take
• The need to have regular times set aside each day for prayer
• How to pay attention and fight distractions in our prayer
• The need to persevere in our habit of prayer throughout our life
