"Why should we pray?" Fr Steve focuses today not so much on on the "how to pray" as he does the "why pray". 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen shared a story about his inspiration to pray everyday. It was a Chinese girl who gave him the inspiration to pray, but ultimately it was to be with Jesus. Not just to ask Him for things, but to be with Him for who He is. 

Just like Moses when we to to pray we too in prayer must come out shining with the glory of The Lord on our faces. He must "rub" off on us. As for the "how" look to the Leper who returned to give thanks. Gratitude is the heart of prayer.
