Discover the true meaning of Christian prayer. In this reflection, Bishop Irenei explains why prayer is not simply a “conversation with God,” but a path to communion with Him. Bp. Irenei shares practical guidance on how the Church teaches us to pray—whether standing, sitting, or praying aloud—and how these practices shape our hearts away from distraction and toward God’s presence.

In this powerful reflection, Fr. Josiah Trenham draws from Scripture, patristic wisdom, and real-life experience to warn against the rise of “nasty religious people” — those who weaponize religion to shame, control, or judge others.
