Prayer

When you think of prayer, do you think of communal prayer or personal prayer? Is prayer an integral part of your relationships? Do you regularly pray with and for the people in your life? Do you believe that God hears and answers your prayers?

Prayer is a powerful tool of the faithful. Prayer is opening our hearts to God. When we pray with and for others, we open our hearts to each other.
