saying sorry, saying thank you,
listening to what they have to
say and not worrying about
silent moments, just being glad
to be with them.

often make time to pray. This is because
Jesus said that when Christians gather to
pray in His name, He is there; God hears
and answers.

is performed by Roman Catholics
and some Anglican denominations.
liturgical worship
are night prayers; during his
ministry Jesus often like to pray at
night because it is quiet and
peaceful. Churches may organise a

the Church year or if they are
praying for something very

is an essential element of the
Christian life. To his disciples, drawn by their
Master’s silent prayer, Jesus teaches a vocal
prayer, the Our Father.
vocal prayer
During this,
Christians will sit quietly, normally
alone, and focus on God.
Some Christians will use words of the
Bible to help them concentrate their
mind on God.
meditative prayer
2709 St. Teresa answers: “is nothing else
than a close sharing between friends; it
means taking time frequently to be alone
with him who we know loves us.”6
Contemplative prayer seeks him “whom my
soul loves.”
