The subject is PRAYER. From Luke Chap 11 v 1-13, Msgr. Esseff discusses how little we know how to pray and how to receive. He reflects on the Blessed Virgin Mary’s teaching to St. Catherine Laboure about prayer. Then he offers the proper movement of prayer:
1. “Be there with Him and for Him”
2. “You have to want Him” Intensify the desire of relationship with God.
3. “Listen to Him”
- A – Acknowledge (What’s going on in your heart)
- R – Relay that to God
(Tell God – Father, Son and the Holy Spirit
and the Blessed Virgin Mary – about that experience) - R – Receive (What is God going to tell me about what I told Him)
- R – Respond
4. “Let Him” (Surrender to God)
What happens when we encounter the Holy Eucharist
What happens when we encounter the Living Word of God
