For me, prayer is a surge of the heart; it is a simple look turned toward heaven, it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and joy. [St. Therese of Lisieux, Manuscrits autobiographiques, C 25r]

The Catechism of the Catholic Church devotes one of its four sections to prayer and prayer is woven throughout the other three sections.  It begins in paragraph 1 with, "God, infinitely perfect and blessed in himself, in a plan of sheer goodness freely created man to make him share in his own blessed life. For this reason, at every time and in every place, God draws close to man. He calls man to seek him, to know him, to love him with all his strength..."  Do we not seek Him, get to know Him and love Him in prayer?  

CCC 2567 says, “God tirelessly calls each person to that mysterious encounter known as prayer.” and the Bible says, “Pray without ceasing”.  1 Thes 5:17

Our Lady at Medjugorje said, “Pray, Pray, Pray!”  And at Fatima said, “Pray, pray, pray very much.”
