Prayer is the breath of faith, arising from the hearts of all who trust in God. Like the call of blind Bartimaeus, our prayer touches God’s heart. Our faith is a cry for salvation, attracting God’s mercy and power. Always persevere in prayer, especially in our darkest moments, and ask the Lord with confidence: “Jesus, have mercy on me, Jesus have mercy on us!” From the Pope’s General Audience, May 6, 2020
