Learn to pray
How to learn to pray? Should we use our own words or the words of the prescribed prayer? Or should we shut up and listen? How to make prayer a habit? What does Jesus teach us about prayer?
Biblical texts:
Gospel according to Luke, chapter 11, verse: 1
Letter to the Romans, chapter 8, verses: 26-27

Between heaven and earth
(Autumn series of homilies)
From October we start a series of homilies on the topic prayers. 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!
