Therefore in the Church, everyone whether belonging to the hierarchy, or being cared for by it, is called to holiness according to the saying of the Apostle, "For this is the will of God, your sanctification."  1 Thess. 4:3
                                 Lumen Gentium, 39

Prayer cannot be reduced to the spontaneous outpouring of interior impulse; in order to pray one must have the will to pray.  Nor is it enough to know what the Scriptures reveal about prayer; one must also learn how to pray.  Through a living transmission (Sacred Tradition) within "the believing and praying Church," the Holy Spirit teaches the children of God how to pray.
     Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2650
