"The value of liturgical prayer is that it is read or chanted aloud in an intentional manner. To be sure, there are times while we are reading that the words merely flow in the background like a babbling brook. But then, suddenly, a verse or phrase flashes out at us like a white-hot light and touches our heart. This is when God speaks to us. Liturgical prayer is not one-way. It is bi-directional and asynchronous. God prays with us and responds to us; sometimes with comfort, sometimes with chastisement and sometimes with wisdom. 'O Lord, hear my prayer, lend your ear to my supplication in your truth, and in your justice hear me.'" Wcrowe (talk) 21:58, 27 March 2017 (EDT)
