Article 1 AT THE WELLSPRINGS OF PRAYER

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

2659
We learn to pray at certain moments by hearing the Word of the Lord and sharing
in his Paschal mystery, but his Spirit is offered us at all times, in the
events of each day, to make prayer spring up from us. Jesus’ teaching about
praying to our Father is in the same vein as his teaching about
providence:¹² time is in the Father’s hands; it is in the present that
we encounter him, not yesterday nor tomorrow, but today: “O that today you
would hearken to his voice! Harden not your hearts.”¹³
