Truly we are nothing. We are a people for whom God has poured out His life. Getting hold of that rather elusive notion is what our Lenten work is all about. Prayer is the vocal prayer that we offer. But we interpret the idea of prayer even more widely.
Prayer is also an attitude, a mind-set.
Let this mind be in you that is also in Christ Jesus. We are to have our thoughts and our minds turned toward God. For a Semite, the heart was the seat of all understanding and thought. That is the attitude of prayer that we must develop during the Lenten season. Of course, we fast during Lent.
