Definitions St. John Damascene: prayer is an elevation of the mind and heart to God. Catechism (¶2558): Prayer is the vital and personal relationship with the living and true God. “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 a conversation with God.
