Abstract: | Ratzinger shows christological specifi city of Christian prayer against the background
of the universal phenomenon of prayer based on existential imperative of human transcendental
search for sense and longing for the Other. First of all, it consists not so much in the
specifi c spiritual practice as a moral duty, as it has an ontological source. Jesus convinces
of that on the pages of the Gospel, when He reveals the very essence of intertrinitary
relations in His man’s prayer (both in its content and form) to His Father. The essential
relationship between love and submission, adoratio and proskynesis, expressed by the
fi lial communion with the Father’s will, also in the time of death, is a salutary ‘yes’ for
us of God’s promises and defi nes what human piety actually is. Christian prayer consists
in participating in the prayers of Jesus and – as such – it constitutes the foundation and
essential experience of the Church. |
