Praying is one of the missions suggested by the Missionaries of Christ, actually, the one that tops our list. Why? Because not all of us may have the money, the skills or the means to fulfill God’s will, but all of us can pray. Also, before we can start any of the other missions, prayer is needed to discern our mission/s and to strengthen our faith to fulfill it. Every thing we do should start with a prayer. It’s the strongest weapon God has given us.
