\n\u201cYou cannot pray, repeating words like a parrot. Either you enter into the mystery, aware that God is your father; or you are not praying. If you pray in a different way, you're not praying. I want to pray, 'God, my father,' entering into the mystery.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\n\u201cThe expression 'in Heaven' does not express remoteness. It expresses a radical diversity and another dimension of love. It is a tireless love, which will remain forever and will always, always be available. It is enough just to say 'Our Father who art in Heaven' and His love comes.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\n\u201cPray for me and for my ministry. Pray also for Pope Benedict, that he may always and everywhere confirm our brothers and sisters in the faith.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
