dc.description.abstractThe Second Vatican Council aimed at a radical renewal of Christian life, what we would call a return to the sources, the grass roots. As Christians, Christ is the radical center of our lives and we are called to follow him in holiness. This can be achieved through prayer, since prayer touches our central relationship with God. From time immemorial great men and women travelled the path of prayer. The Scriptures provide us with ample evidence, where prayer formed part of their daily schedule, touching their life situation and circumstances. Similarly the Saints, whether religious or lay, are clear examples of people, who through prayer and their particular charisms, were able to bear witness to their call as Christians. Today, the challenge is to us, whether in this secularised world are we able to lead people to Jesus? This research conducted at Malolo has a two fold aim: First, it will serve as a model to enable priests, religious and missionaries to strive, enrich and develop the spiritual lives of their parishioners. Secondly, it will enable their parishioners to appreciate their state of life and be true images of God, through their witness in words and actions. The topics dealt herein shed light on the Biblical basis of prayer, my personal reflection, assessment of research and the recommendations/proposals for improving the life of prayer in the parish.en_US
