3.4 La prière m’aide-t-elle à prendre les bonnes décisions ?
Pour connaître ce que Dieu attend de nous, nous devons apprendre à reconnaître sa voix au fond de nos cœurs. Écouter Dieu signifie prêter attention à nos émotions profondes, car c’est là que nous trouverons la Volonté de Dieu.
Il est bon de savoir discerner ce qui vient de l’Esprit-Saint ou non. Pour cela nous avons besoin de l’aide de Dieu. Une fois que tu as trouvé ce que tu dois faire, tu seras envahi de paix intérieure. Ce sentiment est ce que Dieu veut pour chacun de nous puisque c’est ce qui est bon.
When did Jesus pray?
The Gospel often shows Jesus at prayer. We see him draw apart to pray in solitude, even at night. He prays before the decisive moments of his mission or that of his apostles. In fact, all his life is a prayer because he is in a constant communion of love with the Father. [CCCC 542]
How did Jesus pray?
Jesus’ life was one single prayer. At decisive moments (his temptation in the desert, his selection of the apostles, his death on the Cross) his prayer was especially intense. Often he withdrew into solitude to pray, especially at night. Being one with the Father in the Holy Spirit—that was the guiding principle of his earthly life. [Youcat 475]
“You will show me the path to life, fullness of joy in your presence, the delights at your right hand forever” (Ps 15(16):11). Every vocation, every path to which Christ calls us, ultimately leads to fulfilment and happiness, because it leads to God, to sharing in God’s own life... Who receives the Good News is joyous, is radiant with joy, and also gives the joy to others. [Pope John Paul II, Homily to the ‘International Youth Forum’, 13 Jan. 1995]
