Listening prayer is a traditional form of Christian prayer. Listening prayer requires those praying to sit in silence in the presence of God. It can, but need not, be preceded by a scripture reading. This method of prayer is most fully explored in the works of Catholic Saints such as St.Teresa of Avilla.
Prayer in the Catholic Church is "the raising of one's mind and heart to God or the requesting of good things from God." [1] It is an act of the moral virtue of religion, which Catholic theologians identify as a part of the cardinal virtue of justice. [2] Prayer may be expressed vocally or mentally. Vocal prayer may be spoken or sung.
