Chapter 34 — Part IV: Prayer — The Lord's Prayer: Introduction and Our Father Who Art in Heaven
Section 30. Dispositions That Should Accompany The Words, "Our Father": Fraternal Regard — How sincere should be the manner in which we ought to utter the word our, we learn from St. Chrysostom. God, he says, listens willingly to the Christian who prays not only for himself but for others; because to pray for ourselves is an inspiration of nature; but to pray for others is an inspiration of grace; necessity compels us to pray for ourselves, whereas fraternal charity calls on us to pray for others. And he adds: That prayer which is inspired by fraternal charity is more agreeable to God than that which is dictated by necessity.
