When it comes to effective prayer, it is enough to just be silent and under God’s loving gaze…
Pope Francis stressed this to Arabic-speaking pilgrims present in the General Audience of Wednesday, Jan. 1, 2019, held in the Vatican’s Paul VI Hall, his first audience of the New Year.
“I greet warmly the Arabic-speaking pilgrims, in particular those from the Middle East.»
«Dear brothers and sisters, our prayer could also be one silent prayer, it suffices to just be under the gaze of God, to remember His love of
Father, and this is enough to be fulfilled.»
«May God bless you,” he said.
