Reading for today: why pray?

 

Prayer is either a sheer illusion - or a personal contact between embryonic, incomplete persons (ourselves) and the utterly concrete Person. 

Prayer, in the sense of petition, asking for things, is a small part of it; 
confession and penitence are its threshold, 
adoration its sanctuary, the presence and vision and enjoyment of God its bread and wine. 
In it God shows Himself to us.
