Pathways of Prayer

This Update gives an overview of prayer and describes some of the many styles which Christians have used to pray over the centuries. It emphasizes that prayer is something already inside us, waiting to be discovered. ""The essence of prayer consists in humble waiting,"" writes Father Wintz, ""in a childlike openness and expectation of listening. To pray means to make ourselves present and available to God so that we are truly ready to open the door when Jesus comes and knocks.""
