Pray With The Heart

Fr. Slavko's classic guide for prayer, Pray With The Heart is a different kind of prayer book: this book is a prayer. This book does not deal with how we should pray, but prays, as every Christian should pray – from heart to heart, from soul to soul, from the painful cry of a wretched man to the merciful response of the God-man.

In this book you will read that Our Lady invites you to pray before the Cross and before the Blessed Sacrament. She also invites you to confess well, to prepare yourself well for Holy Mass and to give thanks after it. You will find messages urging you to consecrate yourself to God through the hands of the Virgin Mary. To consecrate oneself to God means to decide every day for love, forgiveness and mercy, to decide against evil and sin, against Satan and all his deeds, as well as against all collaboration with him.

Every prayer could be finished in haste; we can “say” all our prayers, but without having met Jesus and Mary. If we do this, there is a danger of wasting our time and never coming to like prayer. Therefore, it is important to take time for prayer.
