Ordinary Time concerns us and our real problems. The prayer is one big problem today in our Church and in our World around us. We don’t pray because we don’t have the simple and exact response from God. Prayer is an essential part of our Christian life, and the essential part of prayer is that of adoration and thanksgiving, but prayer of petition has a big part in our daily prayers too. We have so many spiritual and temporal needs, needs which we cannot provide by ourselves. Christ himself has told us to ask Him for these needs: “ask and you shall receive.”
The Eucharist the Holy Mass which we now celebrate is the Biggest petition Prayer on the world. To see effects of this prayer we have to be on it and involve little by in it.
