Prayer gives you opportunity to praise God and to request His divine intervention in your life and/or the lives of others.  Prayer allows you to glorify His Name and also provides an avenue for you to be filled with joy.

FATHER

BASIC R.C. BELIEF Jesus’ command in Matthew 23:9 doesn’t apply to the use of that term for the priests, but that it is merely a title that shows respect. The priests, as ordinary ministers of Baptism, are regarded as spiritual fathers.

CHRISTIAN COMMENT A study of Matthew 23:9 reveals that Jesus was talking about being called Father as a title of religious superiority, precisely as the priests are called. This religious superiority is the basis for the Hierarchy.
