How Can He Teach Him to Pray
Question:
I am a university student. My father works as a merchant, and he is uneducated. I want to teach him how to pray. What should I do?
Answer:
This can be done through oral transmission and repetition, just as cantors transmit hymns, and just as the blind received the Church hymns.
This applies to memorized prayers, such as the Psalms and the prayers of the Agpeya.
In addition to this, you can teach him personal prayers from his heart, whether supplication, thanking God for His blessings, confessing sin, or glorifying God.
You can also help him memorize a phrase that he repeats frequently, such as the prayer, “My Lord Jesus Christ,” and similar prayers.
