A reflection from Pope Francis for the Year of Prayer

Twenty-third Sunday of the Year

Christian prayer is born from the realization that the "other" we are seeking has been revealed in the tender face of Jesus, who teaches us to call God "Father", and wants personally to enter into relationship with us.  In his farewell discourse at the Last Supper, Jesus no longer calls his disciples servants but friends.  We see Jesus' unconditional love on Calvary.  This is the burning heart of every Christian prayer: entrusting ourselves to the loving and merciful arms of our heavenly Father.
