Pope Francis in Korea: "Pray, God to Mass, Serve Others." Three necessary ways to change the world.
Prayer changes the world because it acknowledges and promotes God's involvement in the world and thereby sanctifies it!
Prayer changes the world because it always changes you.
Prayer changes things.
Prayer changes you.
Prayer makes you change.
When you pray, you change; God makes you change; God changes you!
You want things to change? You need to change? Pray!
If you pray you will change.
If you pray you will improve.
Prayer makes you better,...and better and better..., because God is real. It's not just in your mind! It's Him in your life. Prayer is God influencing you. Prayer, sincere prayer, is God's action within you and upon you and through you. Believe! Believe and pray! If you believe you will pray. And if you pray you believe!
Prayer is an act of faith. If you want to believe, pray! Just do it! It's an act of the will and an act of obedience. God demands that you seek Him! You decide to believe when you decide to obey and to pray!
Pray to change! Pray and you change, and you change the world! You and God, or rather, God and you do it!
That is certainly one of the reasons Pope Francis always asks people to pray for him, to get them to pray!
