CHAPTER THREE THE LIFE OF PRAYER

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

2697
Prayer is the life of the new heart. It ought to animate us at every moment.
But we tend to forget him who is our life and our all. This is why the Fathers
of the spiritual life in the Deuteronomic and prophetic traditions insist that
prayer is a remembrance of God often awakened by the memory of the heart
“We must remember God more often than we draw breath.”¹ But
we cannot pray “at all times” if we do not pray at specific times,
consciously willing it These are the special times of Christian prayer, both in
intensity and duration.
