“Prayer is extremely simple: it is just communication with God, conversation with God, communing with God. Prayer can be either private or public, individual or communal. We need both kinds. Prayer can be either informal or formal, in our own words or in the words of the saints from the many centuries of the Church’s tradition. We need both kinds. Prayer can be either vocal or silent, with words or without words. We need both kinds. Prayer can be either active or receptive, speaking to God or listening to God (just being in his presence, waiting in love, open to his will). We need both kinds.”
