15. Talk to God like a little child
-Many times,
Father, I've heard you talk about the value and the power of prayer. I was
impressed when you said that, of all the virtues it is the only one that, when
done correctly, can very easily bring Divine Grace to our soul. You also said
that Satan fears it very much because it burns him and destroys his evil
powers! Therefore, I would like to ask you, if possible, to tell me more about
it and help me learn how to correctly pray to our Lord.
-The fathers of our
Holy Church, my child, named prayer the queen of virtues! And do you know why?
Because by itself it has the power to
unite a soul with its Creator! All other virtues simply help a soul to
ascend to the throne of God. Prayer, however, when made with faith and humility, has the power to put you in the arms of
God and help you experience, with the grace of the Holy Spirit, the infinite
motherly love with which your
heavenly Father adores you! Through prayer you can also feel His infinite compassion for you and how much He wants
to hold you like a child in His loving fatherly heart! Through prayer,
every time you will ask forgiveness for your mistakes, He will bend down with
much adoration and love, to tell you
that He forgives you and how He wants you to become His small earthly angel!
Through prayer you become one with your
beloved God the Father, since you give Him the pleasure of holding you
tightly in His arms and listening to the voice of His beloved child. Prayer, my
child, is the most sacred moment for
each person, since only with this can a
man be worthy to speak with his almighty Father and the Creator of the whole
universe. Prayer is the quickest path that leads you directly to God's
kingdom, which is why all the Saints loved prayer more than any other virtue.
