You said,It has to come from the heart, if you think that making a deal with God to pick out any prayer he personally likes and then contribute to him, is a heart felt prayer, then don't be surprised if none of yours are being answered. it's absurd.
Why would anyone defend such idiocy as that poem, does the Catholic Church doctrine hinge on it. Can't you read it for what it says?
It's bottom line is, if you can't read an approved prayer to God, the last thing in the world you want to do is to talk to him in a heart felt way.
God forbid that anyone have a personal relationship with him.
