The Revelation of Prayer

535. Why is there a universal call to prayer?


            Because through creation God first calls every being from nothingness. Even after the Fall man continues to be capable of recognizing his Creator and retains a desire for the One who has called him into existence. All religions,and the whole history of salvation in particular, bear witness to this human desire for God. It is God first, however, who ceaselessly draws every person to the mysterious encounter known as prayer.
