The last paragraph of his reply to “How does the Pope pray?"

… Prayer is a search for God, but it is also a revelation of God. Through prayer God reveals Himself as Creator and Father, as Redeemer and Savior, as the Spirit who “searches everything, even the depths of God”, and above all “the secrets of human hearts”. Through prayer God reveals Himself above all as Mercy – that is, Love that goes out to those who are suffering, Love that sustains, uplifts, and invites us to trust. The victory of good in the world is united organically with this truth. A person who prays professes such a truth and in a certain sense makes God who is merciful Love, present in the world.
