FORMS OF PRAYER


item Alberione


1. prayer may be mental, and can be vocal and can be vital. Vocal prayer is [the one in which the important part of the voice, like the recitation of the Rosary], whereas mental prayer is one in which no part of the voice, but there is always the work of the mind and the work of the heart, inner work. Even the vocal prayer requires the attention of the mind, you need the affection of the heart, but in mental prayer everything is working the interior, this interior which can be more active or may be less active. When the grace that you leave work, leave work the Lord, who has already taken possession of the soul, and considers this soul with a certain intimacy, and shedding some light and stable with fervor and soul a holy union: mental prayer. However at the beginning, mental prayer is not always easy. And when there is [no] difficulty in mental prayer we can also, after thinking a little, mix or add, to fill the time, some vocal prayers, and sometimes even some mystery of the rosary and other prayer that you know and you know from memory.
But there is another prayer and it's called life. It is the prayer of life you do with your life that you and the life that you do. When we, whatever we do, we addressed to the Lord, and what we do is good and what we do is driven by a right intention, then the work is prayer. Not every job is prayer, no, but when the work is done in a way, as I said, then it becomes prayer. [...] But
pray every day, today, tomorrow, all year, and this month, another month and another year, until the end of life, always pray. [Comply with all files] As is required according to our state: meditation, a visit to the SS. Sacrament, the Rosary, pray always, all life, not letting the day without prayer. That day is a day lost, and then concludes with bitterness in the evening if we do not pray during the day, especially in the morning.
2 "Et numquam in deficit," never leave the prayer, ever. When the devil wants to win a soul disarms, that removes the help of God that way? Tempting not to pray. Then that person is weak and falls before the temptation. So you need to pray always and never forget. And why, pray always, never forget to be construed as I said, just pray every day. Not that we should leave occupations.
But you can also add another observation: If you transform your life in prayer, all that you do becomes a prayer and then, and even physically you can say, that person prays in continuity. He holds his heart united to God through the day's own aspirations, is also some spiritual communion, or recalled again the thought of morning meditation, and so on. That's his day is a constant prayer life. Our prayer is? Certainly applies. Of course, "All I ask of the Father, I will give it," says Jesus (cf. Mt 21.22 ). Then we have the intercession of the Blessed Virgin that combines her prayers to ours, and we have the intercession of our patrons, even those that were named, or those who are the protectors of the parish, where an association is .
The prayer is answered, but it takes three conditions. What are the conditions so that the prayer is heard from the Lord? Why not just any prayer, [being heard by the Lord] but the prayer is done well, good prayer. First we need faith. You really believe that this prayer is heard by God, and Heavenly Father bends to hear 3. prayer of one who will humble themselves and ask with confidence.
In the psalm says the Lord: "Lord, put your ear near my mouth, to hear" (Ps 16.6 ), as when a mother puts her ear close to the mouth of the little boy to understand. The Lord requires faith to believe that he is merciful, that He is strong, That we always ask for the graces, the merits of Jesus Christ, even if we have to say: "I'm so bad", but there are the merits of Jesus Christ. Jesus is good and is heard by the Heavenly Father. There are the merits of Mary Mary and pray with us. Faith is necessary. Faith that prayer does not fall into nothingness, never falls into the void, never, if it is done with faith. But make no mistake about that and believe that the Lord will give us exactly what we ask in particular. Yes, I believe that God always hears us, but either give us what we ask or give us any better. He listens to us as a wise father, as a father he loves. If the father loves his child and if the child also asked that the father uses his razor to shave the beard, or something that would burst in his hand, his father does not listen to the child, and instead of giving him what he would do evil, will give instead of a toy, for example. The Lord gives us the best when we pray or give us what we ask if he uses our eternal salvation, and gives us better. Eh, but I prayed for the healing of the father and has not healed, it is instead passed to eternity! But we always pray for the sick, but if the Lord always listens, who goes to heaven? I must at some point you go to heaven, is his will. What will the Lord then? to die well and then come early to heaven. And so if you love him tho that has an eternal life in this world of eternal life is there. Yes, so we always listen and if you do not give us what we ask gives us the best, because, At times, we ask things which are not useful for our eternal salvation, are not useful for our eternal salvation. Even when you ask a spiritual grace, we believe it is what we need, and however many times it is not, that. If one is proud, in life be ruined, and then the Lord makes so many humiliations comes to humility, humility and when you're going well and you sanctify much more. In essence, even in the virtues, the Lord will give what he sees as necessary to noi.4. Abandon in the arms of God I pray and then I get back to You How do I? Of 'good' Our Father who is the prayer of faith, the "Father Our "and where demand through general, which are included with all other details, and then the" Salve Regina ", which is the prayer of those who feel in need:" Calling us your eyes of mercy. " There is an almost desperate prayer: "Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, who has never heard that anyone in the world use you, your help has been sought and has been abandoned." I feel too many needs and so animated by this confidence I come to you. Although covered with sins, yet I know that you are the Mother of mercy and compassion on you, especially children who are sicker. As a mother who has several children, if any of these children is ill, his attentions are all facing that, because the other standard good. Yes, I have great faith in the Lord, we never doubted, never, and who receives no doubts. "Postulet autem in fide," the Scripture says, "always ask in faith" (Jas 1.6 ), ask with faith, because those without faith is not worthy to receive, can not receive. We need this condition. Yes
O after the other terms of humility and prayer would perseveranza.Ora has already spent the time and I will not tire oltre.Quanto perseverance then the condition is almost more necessary because of this you should always pregare.Ma may be that you just bed or that there are still opportunities to talk about it.
