Prayer – You CAN speak with God

In this episode we introduce the Fourth Part of the Catechism, which refers to prayer. We look at what is prayer, we consider some examples of prayer in the Old and New Testaments. I also share a great story involving one of the Generals in St. Joan of Arc’s French army who wanted to avoid praying—you can guess what finally happened!
