Is prayer to you just words? Or have you ever felt, even once, that you were standing before God with your whole being… and your heart was embracing heaven? 🎙️ In this rare and powerful sermon, His Holiness Pope Shenouda III speaks to us about the greatest spiritual relationship a human being can ever live: Prayer. ✝️ Prayer is not just a form of piety… Not a routine… Not an obligation… Not even a request… Prayer is an encounter… a connection… a love… a divine presence. It is the golden bridge that links heaven to earth. It is Jacob’s ladder, stretching from your heart to the throne of God. 📖 The Bible says: “Let my prayer be set before You like incense, the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.” (Psalm 141:2) “With my whole heart I seek You; do not let me wander from Your commandments.” (Psalm 119:10) “My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.” (Psalm 42:2) “My house shall be called a house of prayer.” (Isaiah 56:7) ⛪ Prayer is not only spoken words… Prayer can be:A tearA glanceA silent acheA sacred silence 🕊️ Pure prayer is:Comfort for the sufferingRest for the lonelyA weapon for the spiritual warriorA terror to demonsA breath of life for the saints ✝️ Even Christ Himself prayed… He would withdraw and spend long hours in prayer, teaching us: “Men ought always to pray and not lose heart.” (Luke 18:1) “Enter into your inner room, shut the door, and pray to your Father who is in secret.” (Matthew 6:6) 💧 Prayer is:A spiritual incense rising from the heartA dialogue of love from the soul to the Spirit of GodThe longing of the limited toward the embrace of the Infinite.Zum Buch
