CCCP3 Prayer as Communion (2565)

Prayer as communion


2565 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. The grace of the Kingdom is "the union of the entire holy and royal Trinity . . . with the whole human spirit." 12 Thus, the life of prayer is the habit of being in the presence of the thrice-holy God and in communion with him. This communion of life is always possible because, through Baptism, we have already been united with Christ. 13 Prayer is Christian insofar as it is communion with Christ and extends throughout the Church, which is his Body. Its dimensions are those of Christ's love. 14

As I began to understand this "union" more, the more my prayer life deeped and expanded. Prayer moved from merely asking God for favors, to a intimate dialogue between me and my Holy Lover.

Peace be with you...Pam

I just have one question though if thats ok... do catholics believe that you have to be baptised to be saved?
