SUMMARY

1. There are two kinds of prayer: vocal (with words) and mental (without words or only using a few words).

2. Vocal prayer includes our daily morning and evening prayers, and all set forms of prayer, as for example, the Our Father and the Angelus.

3. A rule for mental prayer is to Picture, to Pray and to Promise; and we pray by closing our eyes and looking to God with penitence or trust or love or longing or self-offering.
