[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, today’s Gospel asks us to do three things: pray, fast, and give
alms. Let’s focus today on prayer. Studies show that prayer is a very
common, very popular activity. Even those who profess no belief in God
pray! What is prayer, and how should we pray? Prayer is intimate communion
and conversation with God. Judging from Jesus’ own life, prayer is
something that we ought to do often, especially at key moments of our
lives. Well, how should we pray? What does it look like? You have to pray
with faith, and according to Jesus’ model, you have to pray with
forgiveness. The efficacy of prayer seems to depend on the reconciliation
of differences. You also have to pray with persistence. One reason that we
don’t receive what we want through prayer is that we give up too easily.
Augustine said that God sometimes delays in giving us what we want because
he wants our hearts to expand. Finally, we have to pray in Jesus’ name. In
doing so we are relying on his influence with the Father, trusting that the
Father will listen to him.*
