In the Salesian tradition developing a life of prayer is essential to Living Jesus because it is modeled on the example of Jesus who often went apart to pray. St. Francis de Sales and St. Jane de Chantal imitated the example of Jesus. Prayer was for them a loving conversation with God. St Francis writes: ” God and the individual speak heart to heart, and what passes between them can be shared with no one else.” Prayer in the Salesian tradition is simply quiet time to converse with God “heart to heart.”
