Is Prayer a Waste of Time? - Eileen Leyne

From the Catechism of the Catholic Church 2707

There are as many and varied methods of meditation as there are spiritual masters. Christians owe it to themselves to develop the desire to meditate regularly, lest they come to resemble the three first kinds of soil in the parable of the sower.5 But a method is only a guide; the important thing is to advance, with the Holy Spirit, along the one way of prayer: Christ Jesus.

"We don't pray to receive, as if God was an ATM machine and our prayers should not be focused on the gift but on the giver." Eileen Leyne.
