祈祷是我们与天主沟通的方式
教会的祈祷生活,通常有三个主要的表达方式:口祷、默想和心祷。三者的共通之处,是收敛心神。祈祷是天主与人在基督内结盟的关系。它是天主的行动,也是人的行动;它发自圣神,也出自信友们与降生成人的天主圣子的人性意愿相结合,而完全指向天主圣父。
祈祷是举心归向天主,同天主说话,虔诚的表达信友的心意、或赞颂、或感谢、或忏悔、或求助。因为我们相信天主是我们的慈父,是以儿女之情向天主慈父表达我们的心意。
祈祷的泉源
圣经、圣传与信望爱三德是祈祷的泉源。圣经是天主的圣言,信友读圣经即是听天主说话并进入祈祷的境界。基督和圣神的使命即是在教会的圣事礼仪中宣报,并实现救恩的奥蹟到人的心中,引人祈祷;信友为进入祈祷,必须对天主先怀有信望爱三德。
