Prayer is our recognizing the fact that we are in relationship with Another: God certainly takes the first step, but we respond in kind. Prayer is not talking to yourself but time spent before and with the Divine Mystery.
Pope Francis asked the other day: do we pray for AND with the Church, locally and universally?
I would recommend that you connect with the Apostleship of Prayer … they do good work.
The papal prayer intentions that we are asked to remember during the month of February:
The general intention
That the Church and society may respect the wisdom and experience of older people.
The missionary intention
That priests, religious, and lay people may work together with generosity.
