Roman Catechism
Preparation for Prayer
In Scripture we read: Before prayer, prepare thy soul, and be not as a man that tempteth God. He tempts God who prays well but acts badly, and while he converses with God allows his mind to wander.
Since, then, the dispositions with which we pray are of such vital importance, the pastor should teach his pious hearers how to pray.
