Prayer verbal compliance with the spirit and the word mark

JANUARY 2010 (16 Dec - 16 Jan):

first Topic of the month: Vocal prayer: compliance with the spirit and the word mark

second The word error. Honour:

"How without plowing nothing grows. Yes, without prayer God has decided not to give a grace which he purposed. Without prayer Order melancholy (Bonaventure), passions, chętki the obudzają. Everything bad cure by prayer, and the same lack of prayer. From the good life of prayer. "(ND 316).

third The Franciscan tradition:

Ante Deum non simus stantes vagantes corde. (When we stand before God, my heart do not let him slip into error)
Si cor non Orate, in lingua vanum Baskets. (Language is toiling in vain if the heart does not lead the prayer. "Volgare version:" If The soul does not pray in vain to move the mug. ").

fourth word of God:

" This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching the commandments of men "(Mt 15,6-9; quoted from Isaiah 29.13).


fifth teaching of the Church:

" We know that in Christian tradition There are various forms of prayer, especially prayer "common" and prayer "personal." Both are useful and are generally ordered. One only needs to beware, that prayer is not shared odzwyczajała of personal prayer, and that the latter is not eliminated, and decreased the carrying no common meaning of prayer. The evangelical spirit of sincere prayer can be found between these two forms of the balance corresponding to the needs of the soul, and the founders and legislators Institutes establish standards in this regard in accordance with the authority of the Church.
same can be said of the split between vocal prayer and mental prayer. In fact, all prayer should be the prayer of the heart.
Jesus recommends prayer, humble and sincere: "pray to thy Father which is in secret" (Mt 6,6) warning that the verbiage is not a guarantee that the prayer will be answered (cf. Mt 6:7). However, it is true that, according to human nature prayer inside aims to be expressed in words, gestures and all the so-called acts. external worship, always enlivened by the prayer of the heart "(JP II, 01/04/1995)
