Far from avoiding the world and its needs, all prayer, especially in the<\/em> <em>entire liturgy, is the essential dimension of our humanity. In our prayer we unite ourselves with Jesus to offer praise and thanksgiving to God the Father, through the power of the Holy Spirit. In a particular way, Saint Paul VI expressed a longing that the Liturgy of the Hours, the daily public prayer of the Church, would be prayed by all the members of Christ\u2019s Body. In this way, we will allow the Holy Spirit to breathe into each thought and action, inspiring a deeper experience of the Paschal Mystery. Brothers and sisters, may we find the spiritual nourishment necessary on our earthly pilgrimage by joining with the whole Church in her liturgical prayer as we await the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I extend a warm welcome to all the English-speaking pilgrims and visitors taking part in<\/em> <em>today\u2019s Audience, especially those from England, Malta and the United States of America. Upon<\/em> <em>you and your families, I invoke the joy and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ. God bless you all!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pope Leo XIV continued his series of catechesis during the Wednesday general audience.
