Hvordan skal vi bede?

“Our prayers can and should arise above all from our heart, from our needs, our hopes, our joys, our sufferings, from our shame over sin, and from our gratitude for good. It can and should be a wholly personal prayer. But we also constantly need to make use of those prayers that express in words the encounter with God experienced both by the Church as whole and by individual members of the Church. For without these aids to prayer, our own praying and our image of God become subjective and end up reflecting ourselves more than the living God...”

”… we may be sure that each of us, along with our totally personal relationship with God, is received into, and sheltered within this prayer (Fadervor). Again and again, each one of us with his mens, his own spirit, must go out to meet, open himself to, and submit to the guidance of the vox, the word that comes to us from the Son.” Pave Benedikt den 16., Jesus of Nazareth, p. 130 og 133.
