“When you pray, do not use too many words.” (Mt. 6:7)

And yet, we do not want to leave the silent and permanent communion “with the one who we know loves us” (St. Teresa). Teresa tells us to sit next to Jesus and watch him speak with his “Abba”; she really teaches us to pray, as does Ignatius. Deep down they are transmitting absolute confidence to us. But that request for forgiveness, which puts ours as a measure, is difficult. We must look closely to Jesus facing those who did not receive him, or accused him unjustly, and even gave him the death penalty. We have all our lives to learn to pray, to delve into what it means to ask for the Kingdom to happen in our world. Prayer asks us, above all, to be consistent. That which is the vein of our prayer: “Thy will be done”…, to learn it from Jesus: to pray with Him, like Him, next to Him.
