Roman Catholic prayer
Roman Catholic teachings on the subject of prayer are contained in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Prayer can be defined as the raising of one's mind and heart to God or the requesting of good things from God. It is an act of the moral virtue of religion which the concordant judgment of theologians identifies as a part of the cardinal virtue justice, since by it one renders to God that which is due Him.〔(Delany, Joseph. "Virtue of Religion." The Catholic Encyclopedia. Vol. 12. New York: Robert Appleton Company, 1911. 22 Dec. 2012 )〕
Prayer may be expressed vocally or mentally. Vocal prayer may be spoken or sung. Mental prayer can be viewed as meditation, or contemplation. The basic forms of prayer are praise, petition, intercession, and thanksgiving.
==Teachings regarding Prayer==
Roman Catholic teachings on the subject of prayer are contained in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, where quoting St. John Damascene, prayer is defined as "...the raising of one's mind and heart to God or the requesting of good things from God". St. Thérèse of Lisieux describes prayer as "... a surge of the heart; it is a simple look turned toward heaven, it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and joy."
By prayer one acknowledges God's power and goodness, and one's own neediness and dependence. It is therefore an act of the virtue of religion implying the deepest reverence for God and habituating a person to look to Him for everything. Prayer presupposes faith in God and hope in His goodness. By both, God, to whom one prays, moves the individual to prayer.〔(Wynne, John. "Prayer." The Catholic Encyclopedia. Vol. 12. New York: Robert Appleton Company, 1911. 21 Dec. 2012 )〕
