Prayer. It’s a critical part of our spiritual lives. It is the subject of books, reflections and talks at retreats. Because it is so essential, it is a frequent topic of discussion, as devout members of the Church ponder how often they should pray and what form their prayer should take. While the answer to these questions may differ depending on one’s vocation and personality, we should all strive to make prayer an important part of our daily lives. Christ teaches us about prayer through his own example. He prays frequently in the Gospels, and in doing so, he shows us how we should pray. As we continue on our Lenten journey and move closer to Holy Week, we can gain insight about prayer by reflecting on Jesus’ own prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane. Regardless of our age, gender or occupation, we can learn how to pray from Christ’s example in the moments before his passion and death.
