Hope

The most frequent call of all, appearing in nearly three of every four messages. "Pray, pray, pray" is the signature phrase, but the messages keep refining what prayer means: prayer with the heart, not habit; prayer that becomes joy rather than obligation; prayer as conversation, until "your life becomes prayer." There are practical instructions too, such as the family rosary, adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, and prayer groups where people encourage each other to the good. Prayer is presented as the means by which every other request in every other collection is accomplished.
