Clement of Alexandria, a popular teacher of the early Church, put it simply: “Prayer is conversation with God.” Like any conversation, it goes both ways. We talk to God, and He talks to us. God loves us more than we can imagine. He wants us to get to know and love Him as a Father. Like any loving parent, He wants to spend time talking with His children.
But prayer doesn't always come easily or naturally. Even the Apostles asked Our Lord, "Teach us how to pray." In our new pamphlet "What the CHURCH Teaches: How to Pray as a Catholic," we provide practical advice on how to pray, what to say and give answers to questions we all have such as "Does God always hear our prayers?" and "How do I know when God is talking."
Prayer is the foundation of our Christian life. Without prayer, we cannot enter into a relationship with God. You'll find a wealth of information and suggestions for learning to pray in our pamphlet, including Catholic prayer traditions and actual prayers. The pamphlet lists additional resources, and we offer these online to help you find an answer to the age-old cry, "Teach me how to pray!"
