Prayer and Hope

"All these devoted themselves with one accord to prayer, together with some women, and Mary the Mother of Jesus, and his brothers." (Acts 1: 12 – 14)

Wait for the promise of the Father in Jerusalem. Where is my Jerusalem today?

How did the apostles wait for the Holy Spirit? They devoted themselves with one accord to Prayer.

How do I wait for the fulfillment of the promise of the Enterprise? Prayer! Prayer! Prayer! The 7-Way Plan.

Through prayer, we keep hope alive.

2 dimensions of prayer:

  • Pray that you do not enter into temptation: (Gethsemane). Prayer becomes a defensive weapon in spiritual warfare.
  • Pray in order to be able to wait for the promise of the Father. Prayer becomes a means of living the virtue of hope.
