Topic: Lent/ Prayer      

 

Fr. Foeckler started out
with a question…….What is Lent???

People
responded….40days  before Easter….No
meat Friday….

 

Fr. Foeckler gradually focused
his lecture toward prayer during lent.

Jesus prayed before every important
event such as Praying before meal, At the last supper, In the morning 

before
heading to Galilee, After healing the people, Praying all night before choosing
His 12 disciples, 

Before teaching His disciples the Lord’s prayer, Before
heading to Gathsemane, Before nailed to the cross, 

and etc.

 

Why did Jesus pray? Why do we pray?

We pray because there is
NEED- Need for healing for the sick

                                                        –
Need  for 
forgiveness of our sins

                                                    
   – Need 
to praise and give glory to God

                                                   
    – Need to ask for mercy

Who did Jesus pray to?
Jesus prayed to God the Father.

                                                       
– To know

                                                       
– To love

                                                        – To
want

                                                    
   – To
do  ……..  the will of GOD

 

Once again, why do we
pray?

– To ask knowledge to know
His will

– Desire to do it

– Strength to carry on

 

Overall, we pray so God’s
will be done.

 

“Ask, and it will be
given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to
you”

                                                                                                                     
–   Matt. 7:7
