---- (:comment Write term as a title in lower case except where upper case or capitals are normally required:) '+Term:+' (:comment Write term on this line, after this comment:) prayer '+Definition+': For me, prayer is a surge of the heart; it is a simple look turned toward heaven, it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and joy. (St Therese of Lisieux)

Prayer is the raising of one's mind and heart to God or the requesting of good things from God. (''Catholic Catechism'' no. 2559)

Christian prayer is a covenant relationship between God and man in Christ. It is the action of God and of man, springing forth from both the Holy Spirit and ourselves, wholly directed to the Father, in union with the human will of the Son of God made man. (''Catholic Catechism'' no. 2564)

'+Description+': We speak of ''personal'' and ''community prayer'', not strictly distinguishing the two but noting that one arises from the other. We speak also of ''Salesian prayer'', synonymous with ''apostolic prayer'', with the chief reference points being St. Francis of Sales and Don Bosco. Don Bosco was different to many Saints in this regard - his prayer was profound but in terms of formal prayer, appeared minimal. This became a point of contention during the process of canonisation. It is also a feature of our contemporary Salesian 'theology', expressed as the ''grace of unity'', or in St Francis of Sales' terms as the ecstasy of action.

Prayer is the raising of one's mind and heart to God or the requesting of good things from God. (''Catholic Catechism'' no. 2559)

In the New Covenant, prayer is the living relationship of the children of God with their Father who is good beyond measure, with his Son Jesus Christ and with the Holy Spirit.
