When our Lord Jesus Christ was in the world
He made prayer the standard of his life. He could not do anything without
prayer. For him, prayer was like a food. For instance St. Luke narrates in Luke 6:12-19:
"It happened that in these days, Jesus
went out into the hills to pray; and all night he continued in prayer to God. And
when it was day, he called his disciples, and chose from them twelve, whom he
named apostles..." Our Lord Jesus Christ visited the hills several times,
not for relaxation as many do, but for prayer. In this very occasion he
observed a night vigil - he prayed all through the night. It was after this
prayer that He was inspired to select his apostles. With prayer He succeeded. He knew that a prayerful child is a powerful child. Jesus is indeed the Most prayerful and most powerful Man the world has ever known.
To him be glory and praise both now and forevermore - Amen!
