Intercessory prayer
Between heaven and earth
(Autumn series of homilies)
In our series of homilies on prayer, we come to the most common prayer in the lives of most believers: intercessory prayer. We ask God, we call to God - most often in times of illness (ours or others).
And the question always comes to mind: Will I be heard? We are far from always heard. Then a more serious question arises: Does it make sense to intercede with God? The Bible tells us to "pray constantly and do not give up". Let us be encouraged to intercessory prayer on Sunday.
Biblical texts:
Gospel according to Luke, chapter 18 verses: 1-7
1. Book of Samuel, chapter 1, verses: 1-17
--------------------
From October we start a series of homilies on the topic of prayer. Yes, prayer is one of the basic foundations of spiritual life.
When a person utters his thoughts and final amen into the space of the universe, there comes a mysterious moment of silence, faith, questioning. Perhaps that is why we chose the title "Between Heaven and Earth" for the series.
How did we come up with the themes? Probably each of us spoke to God in a different way. He thanked, asked, shouted to God... In the homiletic group, we wrote down different "types" of prayers and sorted them out gradually. We had a great time doing this job. The result is the following list: Celebratory prayer, contemplative prayer, penitential prayer, intercessory prayer, liturgical prayer, desperate prayer (lamentation). And finally: Learning to pray.
Let autumn encourage our prayer life!
