Thanks for the additional resource, but I don't find it understandable at all. I mean I understand the words, but together I have no idea how to interpret them.

For example, "Only when we humbly acknowledge that "we do not know how to pray as we ought," are we ready to receive freely the gift of prayer." What does that mean? It seems to be saying that prayer is communion with God, but also that "Prayer is the raising of one's mind and heart to God or the requesting of good things from God."

So is prayer a request of God or not?
