On March 25, 1999, Pope John-Paul II, the spiritual leader of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, called upon the world's 404,000 priests to teach the faithful how to pray. In obedience to the holy Pontiff, "The Catholic Doors Ministry" has put together hundreds of Catholic prayers to compile "A Treasure Of Catholic Prayers." The first file below, "HOW TO PRAY," serves as a tool to teach effective praying to the faithful so they may enjoy a daily communion and spiritual growth in the Lord Jesus Christ. The next files, listed in alphabetic order, contain a variety of prayers to meet the specific spiritual needs of the faithful. May the grace of the Heavenly Father be with you as the Holy Spirit teaches you how to pray in the Most Holy Name of Jesus through the intercession of our Blessed Mother, the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

A very wise priest, visiting from Africa, once said in a homily that an easy way to pray well is to remember A-C-T-S:
A=adoration
C=contrition
T=thanksgiving
S=supplication
I’ve never forgotten it and I try to include all 4 elements in my prayers. The Lord’s Prayer has all 4 elements in it, though it is a simple prayer. I thank you for this post.
Thanks for the input and you’re welcome.
This is wonderful, thank you very, very much!
You’re welcome!
Faith sharing bump.
