Prayer is the essential first step in developing a missionary mindset. We cannot give what we do not have. By deepening our relationship with Jesus through prayer—daily prayer, attending Mass, praying with Scripture, spending time in Adoration—we open ourselves to receive the grace we need to live out our mission. Prayer deepens our relationship with God, rekindles the flame of our baptism, and equips us to share the Gospel with joy and conviction.
Jesus modeled the importance of prayer in mission, often withdrawing to pray and teaching His disciples to do the same. Within Cor, how are we helping men grow in their prayer lives? Are we dedicating sufficient time to prayer at each gathering? Are we sharing new ways to pray (e.g. Lectio Divina)? Especially during Lent, let’s guide others to embrace prayer more fully, reminding them that as our prayer life grows, so too does our ability to lead others closer to Christ.
