Do You Pray?

Simple and yet profound.

"Why is prayer so important?  We can answer this question by analyzing the functions of prayer:  Adoration, Contrition, Thanksgiving, and Supplication.  These we do when we pray.  But what if we don't pray?  Then it follows that we do not adore God, nor are we contrite for our sins, nor do we thank the Lord for His many blessings, nor do we ask Him for guidance and strength as we carry out our mission in life.  In such a case, we are not at all doing God's work; rather, we are doing our work!"  Jaime Cardinal L. Sin - Archbishop of Manila
