This is Page XXI of the Keeping Catholics Catholic Network. This Site is dedicated to Prayer. Many of us take Prayer for granted and do not utilize it often enough. It is our effort to help you gain a better prayer life. Page XXIX STA Home Page Page XXX Vocations site Prayer is the lifting up of our minds and hearts to God.
Prayer is an act of love.
It is sometimes called conversation with God. A conversation of love-a heart to heart talk with God who is Love and loves us. If we deliberately let our minds wander and do not even try to pray that is a sin. If our mind wanders when we do not want it to, then this does no harm to our prayer. It is still very good and pleasing to God.
