MODLITWA SPOTKA IE Z BOGIEM Pan Jezus przestrzega przed zagadywaniem modlitwy: a modlitwie nie bądźcie gadatliwi jak poganie. Oni myślą, że przez wzgląd na swe wielomówstwo będą wysłuchani (Mt 6,7). Nie należy się zatem bać dłuższych chwil ciszy na modlitwie. Stwarzając bowiem w sobie przestrzeń milczenia, stajemy się zdolni, aby usłyszeć głos Boga mówiący w sumieniu, w naszych myślach i natchnieniach. Sprawą niezmiernie ważną jest świadomość obecności Boga w całym życiu, w każdej chwili i każdym miejscu. Tę zaś świadomość daje łaska wiary. Odnoście do tego czytamy w Katechizmie Kościoła Katolickiego, iż w owym Przymierzu modlitwa jest żywym związkiem dzieci Bożych z ich nieskończenie dobrym Ojcem, z Jego Synem Jezusem Chrystusem i z Duchem Świętym (KKK 2655). Życie modlitwy polega zatem na stałym trwaniu w obecności Boga i w komunii z Nim. Jest więc modlitwa otwieraniem się na wszechogarniającą miłość. Jest ona narzędziem dostąpienia łaski Bożej, bez której nie osiągniemy życia wiecznego. Modlitwa jest zatem koniecznym środkiem do zbawienia. Przede wszystkim przez modlitwę doskonali się wiara, nadzieja i miłość fundament życia duchowego. Musimy pamiętać, że modlitwa jest najskuteczniejszym środkiem walki z pokusą i grzechem. Zły duch atakuje, podobnie jak polują dzikie zwierzęta. Lew czy inny drapieżnik nie rzuca się w środek stada antylop, które w panice po prostu by go staranowały, ale odpędza od stada jedną ofiarę po drugiej i wówczas atakuje. Zły duch wie doskonale, że nie ma szans w walce o duszę z człowiekiem, który jest zjednoczony z Bogiem prze gorliwą i nieustanną modlitwę. Jak mówi Psalmista: Chociażbym chodził ciemną doliną, zła się nie ulęknę, bo Ty jesteś ze mną (Ps 23,4). Ilekroć słabnie nasza modlitwa, tym bardziej nasilać się będą najróżniejsze pokusy. Grzeszne upadki mają swój początek w zaniedbaniach modlitwy. Niechaj zapadnie nam w sercu Chrystusowa przestroga: Czuwajcie i módlcie się, abyście nie ulegl
