Prayer is a dialogue between God and a human being. Prayer is not a feeling; it’s opening the heart to God. In this talk, Monsignor Lavalley discusses what Jesus – the ultimate authority – says about prayer in Matthew’s Gospel.
In his third talk, Monsignor Lavalley distinguishes between two types of silence. One is just a void. The other is contemplation. It's preparing a place where God is in control. Embrace the silence, he urges, where God is in control.
