Jesus' prayer surely was extraordinary Wouldn't it be wonderful to know what it was like for Jesus to pray, to get inside his prayer? Jesus' prayer surely was extraordinary. We know from Luke's Gospel that it filled the disciples with awesome respect. They never would have thought to interrupt him. On one occasion waited they respectfully until he finished praying before asking that he teach them how to pray. In the presence of [esus at prayer the disciples felt tho need to pray .•And their first prayer was that hp teach them ho" to do so.

he discovered that there was something - someone - bigger than she
was, someone she loved and to whom she prayed. Can you recall a similar story from your own life's history about a time when, through someone else's actions, you gained an insight into life's meaning, God's presence or human dignity? Artists are among those who express the faith of God's people. Works of art constitute one of the "languages" of faith - a faith which reaches not only into the mind, but into the heart. Through their creative endeavours, artists express faith and draw the human spirit more deeply into faith. Their work is a reminder that because of its poetic aspect, faith stirs when the spirit soars. Can the Spirit of God shine through people like you? Are there ways for you to bring those in your home more deeply into faith? How?

• Gloria and Harry read a scripture passage each night and reflect on it, often together with their children. Gloria works for an agency that cleans apartments after renters move out. It's not her life's work, but with her husband recuperating from emergency heart surgery she had to find a job quickly. Gloria identifies with Christ's suffering and his unfaltering compassion, which is "always there". She says she is "able to bring dignity" to her job and "can even get a laugh out of the nutty things people do". • Dorothy was a brilliant lawyer, married late in life and now pretty much without family.

• Then there is Henry. He said that as a young naan he "was making it without God. In my mind, prayer was for those less smart who needed help." Henry and his wife "were so busy scaling the ladder" that they "hardly d time for one another, I• alone God." But in eir 50s, the couple ,gan to ask "what it has IIPen all about".
"We have started going to church," Henry said, "where we still feel like aliens." He and his wife find the Mass more welcoming and more comforting today. But the prayers of their childhood "seem as remote as the children we once were". Their question is, "How can we know God?" God does not usually pop out of blazing bushes to gain people's attention. More commonly, the divine voice is heard through the human voice in people's lives or in Scripture. And God is present in a baby's hand curled around our finger, in Ille sacraments, in the peaceful faces of the elderly. God's wonders all ... the stuff of conversation with him for those who "stay awake".

"arm-twisting"
to get God to give us what we want i., ,till in vogue. And it ts far from worthless. For it does keep the line, of communication open between people and God. It is a kind of dia ·
Iogue, perhaps a bit one-stded, but a dialogue nonetheless. And that is what prayer is In essence: conversation with
God.
Communication, sincere dialogue, honest conversation are needed to maintain any kind of relationship. And a remarkable thing about bibli· cal prayer is Its honesty: People tell God what is on their minds, in no uncertain terms. Jrremlah, often depressed by hi, futile efforts to get God', message across, broke down and complained bitterly that God had tricked him, "You duped me, 0 Lord, and I let myself be duped." The same kind of
frank e .presslon recur. frequently In the Psalms, The ("almi>t.,. impatient for help, tell God to wake up and get going. "How long, 0 Lord? Will you utterly forget me1 How long "ill you hide your face from me? Ho" long shall I harbour sorrow in my soul, grief in my heart day after day? ... Look, answer me, 0 Lord, my God" (P,,alm
Individuals but still part of community
"In God's plan \IYll are individuals - yes - but \IYll are also part of a community ... This aspect of our being a community, of our sharing God's life as a people is pa rt of our identity-who we are, what we are, where we are going." (Pope John Paul II addressing a youth rally in New Orleans.
13,2-3).
Still, when one stops to think of it, why should prayer be anything but honest? A pain that i.,, not shared Is not healed. The variety of prayers In the Bible is as rich as the whole range of human emotions. Often people turn to God In humble acknowledgement of their own failing,,. "Have mercy on me, O God, in your good· ness , . . For I acknowledge my offen e and my sin is before me always. Against you alone have I sinned and done what is evil In your sight" (Psalm 51=3,S).

An elderly wom,n pr,ys in U e S,n S,lrador C,thedr,I in Centr,I America. Prayer is born in us. II leaps to life in experiences which I raw us out of ourselres - the deep still of niglrt, the quiet lit/rt of dawn, , child smilinf, a deer jumpinf orer an embankment, two elderly people iently carinf for one ,nother. At these moments, i 11er noise becomes part of, ire,t harmony. Prayer is born.
Faith is given voice on many ways. Preachers and teachers, artists. servants of the poor and people at prayer all have their manner of expressang faith. lneir words, worl<s and actions are "languages" of faith. The story of faith is too
lull ever to be told completely in a human language once and for all. So different people with different talents try yet again to gM! it expression. It is the artist's gift to see from a unique perspective. A combination of ins,ght and craftsmanship enable the artist to "speak" in a fresh way.
So it has been part of the artist's role in the church to tell the story of farth from the point of view of one who recognises the inner meaning of -,ts and the special spari< that gave hie to the great figures of salvation history. ltis the artist's gift. also, to address the spirit within people - to address the whole per-
son. TI1e artist's natJve language may not take the form of words of the progressive development of logical thoughts meant to explain or persuade. But the artist speaks in convincing terms nonetheless. Today this aspect of the artist's gift is often employed for the design of places of worship 1n which the very environment draws out the spirit within people, whole also serving to make them aware that they are a people of God.
Language is a human power. It is a strength of language to form hnks among people. It enables people to share together in faith. Language helps to bring each individual out of isolation into the com-
munity - the one who speaks and the one who is addressed. Through their expres-
SIOOS of farth in human
terms, people touch each other, proVKl1ng each other with credible sign.s of faith's power to give meaning to life. It is natural for faith to be given expression through the many and varying talents of the church's people. For farth is a dynamic force in life, not an abstract concept. Whether the "Ianguage" in question takes the fonn of words, actions on behalf of others, prayer, fasting or a wori< of art. it os a sign - a sign of faith that is alive and that is being given its lu I place ,n this human work!.

In the first place, the leaders of religious bodies are obliged to present their teaching without allowing themselves to be conditioned by personal, political or social interests, and in ways that conform to the requirements of peaceful coexistence and respect for the freedom of each individual. Similarly, the followers of the various religions should, individually and collectively, express their convictions and organise their worship and all other specific activities with respect for therights of those who do not belong to that religion or do not profess any creed. With regard to peace, mankind's supreme aspiration, every religious community and every individual believer can test the genuineness of their commitment to solidarity with their brothers and sisters. Today as perhaps never before, the wor d looks expectantly to the various re igions, precisely in matters concerning peace.

his New Year religious message from the Vatican faithful are showing an ever keener interest and a livelier desire to work for peace. These intentions deserve to be encouraged and appropriately coordinated in order to increase their effectiveness. That is what happened last year at Assisi. In response to my fraternal invitation, the leaders of the world's main religions gathered in order to affirm together - while remaining faithful to each one's religious conviction - their common commitment to building peace. In the spirit of Assisi there is here a question of a binding and demanding gift, a gift to be cultivated and brought to maturity: in mutual acceptance and respect, renouncing ideological intimidation and violence, promoting institutions and methods of joint action and cooperation between peoples and nations, but especially in education for peace, considered at a level well above the necessary and hoped for reform of structures - peace that presupposes the conversion of hearts.
