Reflection on the Six Pillars by Fr. Thomas:Prayers.Prayer is the channel of fellowship and communication with the true and living God or we can simply say, it’s a personal contact with God.  It is the greatest resource we can have in life.  It is God’s gift and it should be enjoyed. God Says “Whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive” (Mathew 21:22).  God promises to answers every prayer when we follow His guidelines. He just want us to be faithful. Prayer help us in resisting temptation and also help us to grow towards Christ.  Even in our difficult situation, our Mind and Soul will lead automatically to our lord to take the right decision. He encouraged everyone to take prayer as a weapon to fight against the evil.Word of God:Sacramental Life:Fellowship: Evangelization:  Option for the poor .
