III. Filial Trust
Catechism number 2734
Filial trust is tested - it proves itself - in tribulation.22 The
principal difficulty concerns the prayer of petition, for oneself or for others
in intercession. Some even stop praying because they think their petition is
not heard. Here two questions should be asked: Why do we think our petition has
not been heard? How is our prayer heard, how is it "efficacious"?
Why do we complain of not being heard?
