Pleasant Words from the Gospel






                 One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent
                 the night praying to God. (Luke, 6:12)


                 Once when Jesus was praying in private and his disciples were with
                 him... (Luke, 9:18)

                 One day Jesus was praying in a certain place... (Luke, 11:1)

                 ... But I have prayed for you [to God], Simon, that your faith may not
                 fail... (Luke, 22:32)


                 Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he
                 said to them, "Sit here while I go over there and pray." (Matthew, 26:36)

                 During the days of Jesus' life on earth, he offered up prayers and peti-
                 tions with loud cries and tears to the One [God] Who could save him
                 from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. (He-
                 brews, 5:7)

                 "Bring them here to me," he said. And he directed the people to sit
                 down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish... he gave
                 thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and
                 the disciples gave them to the people. (Matthew, 14:18-19)


                 When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke
                 it and began to give it to them. (Luke, 24:30)
