About this listen

Prayer is a conversation with God. Prayer is opening oneself to the mercy of God. When we realize that we are made of finite, limited, mortal and dependent beings, naturally, there is an inner urge to look for something eternal, immortal, infinite, unlimited and independent. That is where we find the fulfilment of our lives. Only a higher being can satisfy our wants and needs. All that we hope to achieve is possible only by the grace of God. The readings of today are very special. They emphasize the breadth and depth of God, and moreover, the capacities of God. Even long ago, Abraham, the Father of Faith, made great strides in trying to convince God, in order, to save the cities in which he lived, namely Sodom and Gomorrah. On the other hand, Jesus teaches his disciples the simple truths of prayer. As we delve deeper into the readings of today, we see how God is truly caring for us.
