Prayer is such a huge word. Prayer can be a conversation between two people who love each other. It can be the time we give the Lord to arrange the world, so our prayers can be answered. It can be redemptive, binding, praising, begging, and just about all things to all people. One step further, what’s so beautiful about Catholicism is the “this and both of these” aspects. We have the Sacred Sacraments, the Ten Commandments and the other none negotiable tenets however as Catholics we are not held to any certain motif which wouldn’t include the other aspects. Prayer is a good example, so is grace whether it be saving grace, or sustaining or common grace as in the gifts and grace of sunshine, rain and sweet air to breathe. Christ on the Cross presents many theological views of Christ; as our Savior, the Redeemer, as a Sacrifice, as reconciling the world, and as Love and Forgiveness. All are true, not one more demanding than the other, all are meaningful not one more important than the others.
