To Pray is to Converse with God

Jesus wants you to pray for each other. He encourages us to pray on the action of the Holy Spirit: “ask and you shall receive; seek and you will find;
knock and the door shall be opened. Whoever asks receives; He who seeks, finds;
and, for those who hit, will open. Will any of you that is a father,
If the child ask a fish, will give him a snake? Or, if you ask an egg, will give him a Scorpion? If you who are evil,
know how to give good things to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit
to those who asked. ” (Lc -13 11.9)

Praying is talking to God like talking with a friend, with sincerity of heart.
The heavenly Father knows what we need and wants to hear and answer.

‘Lord Jesus, look at our heart. With faith, we are at the throne of grace, we ask forgiveness for our faults and sins, give us salvation. Lord Jesus, we pray to the father in your name by a special grace of our heart (make your request).

Father of Mercy, God of all consolation, hear us!
through Francis and by all the bishops together, pour out the Holy Spirit!

Come Holy Spirit upon us all!
