Summary/Abstract: Prayer is very closely related to the nature of the human being, it is an undoubtedly sign of superiority of Man towards the inanimate. The work of every man, as a rational human begin, is to glorify God. How will the man glorify Him? Praying! If inanimate and mindless human beigns are not able to glorify God as they should do, Man is bound to make himself as their interpreter and offi ciate instead of them. Christian religion is the prayer religion. That is how our Savior revealed it to us through his life and also through his teaching, He gave importance to the prayer, presenting it as a duty, as a vital need for all Christians. In prayer, man addresses to God, gest in touch with him, depicting general needs and concerns of his life, asking for help. Our Saviour teaches the Holly Saints how to pray, share them the formula of exquisite prayer: „Holly Father”. Our Saviour made out of prayer the most wonderful mean of human ascension into heaven and the descent of Heaven on Earth.
