The world has no meaning except as a field of dialogue between God and men. People, through their works, move away from God's creative work in the world. And with their prayer they request His interventions. By their prayer people manifest their belief that God's freedom intervenes in the world for their own good. With their prayer they manifest the conviction that man is not a simple cog in the mechanism of nature. With their prayer, they manifest God's special care for man...
But, with prayer, the liberation of man from his passions and himself is also manifested and activated...
Prayer is raising man above himself. Only by transcending himself, that is, by transcending what is considered freedom of choice, can man escape from nature and death.
