Summary

We examine both prayers of praise and also the “nuggets” for this section on the forms of prayer. Fr. Mike emphasizes that praise is giving God glory for who he is. He also emphasizes that the Eucharist is the ultimate prayer of praise, and that every time we pray we are joining our lives to the saints and prophets who have gone before us. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 2639-2649.

This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

0:25.6	This is Day 339. We're reading paragraphs 2639 to 2649. As always, I'm using the

1:03.1	way of prayer. And that's not the final way of praying, but it's another way of praying called
1:06.4	the prayer of praise. And paragraph 2639 summarizes it very, very quickly, just so simply. It says this,
1:13.9	praise is the form of prayer, which recognizes most immediately that God is God. That's it. It says
1:21.0	it lads God for his own sake, gives him glory quite beyond what he does, but simply because he is.
1:26.4	One way you can make a distinction is saying
1:28.3	prayers of Thanksgiving, prayer of Thanksgiving is giving God thanks for what he's done or what he
