He was praying in a certain place, and after he had finished, one of his
disciples said
to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples."
Jesus' disciples came to him after he had finished a time apart for prayer and they
made a request
of him: "Lord, teach us to pray." Somehow I believe that this is a need many of us have.
(Luke 11:1
NRSV)
Mother Teresa appeared some time ago on Robert Schuller's television program.
Schuller
reminded her that the show was being carried all over America and in 22 foreign
countries
including her native Yugoslavia. He asked her if there was one message that she would
like to
convey to all those viewers. Her response was, "Yes, tell them to pray. And tell them to
teach
their children to pray." Prayer precedes good works in Mother Teresa's estimation. We
connect
with Christ before we can truly connect with our neighbor.
Dear God, in the garden of life continue to teach me to pray. Amen.
