Did you know that prayer is our response to God's call and a manifestation of our longing to connect with Him? This episode delves into this concept, referencing the parable of the prodigal son to underscore God's boundless love and patience. By retracing prayer in human history, starting from Abram's interaction with God, they underline the vital role of prayer in our dignity as children of God. 

 Fr. Stephen illuminates how even in moments of dryness or distraction, your desire to pray is still prayer. They discuss how the Eucharist serves as an expression of all prayer forms and highlight our mission as Church members to demonstrate the Father's love. This enlightening conversation promises to deepen your understanding and practice of prayer in your spiritual journey.
