Father Patrick Hyde joins Patrick to discuss Prayer
(2:22) What is prayer?
(13:01) What are the different forms of prayer?
Walter - Holy spirit the main person in prayer because he is so much and possessing us and leads us all the time. He is love.

(27:00) Break 1
Dee -When you pray for someone does it have to be a 'full on' prayer? I'll offer up a word list prayer and not necessarily a hail Mary, etc. If someone asks me to pray for them, I'm not 100 percent sure I remembered everyone. If I don't remember specifically, I'll mention any prayer that I said I would pray for. Is that ok?
