John Kavanaugh, SJ
I ask for health, miracles, X-ray vision to find lost articles, and, intermittently, to be a better person.
John J. Pilch
Mediterranean and American Prayer
Only in extreme cases do Americans turn to God regarding needs in the economy, health, space conquest, and so on. This is one reason why American believers sometimes find it difficult to pray.
Let us ask God the Father for the grace of his Spirit to lead us along the path of that true faith which works through love.
Dennis
Hamm, SJ
The Father to whom we say “Give us each day our daily bread” will indeed do so. What's more, he will even give us the ultimate Gift, the Holy Spirit.
Reginald H. Fuller
Prayer in the Bible is primarily not mystical experience but working with God in carrying out his purposes in salvation history.
