One of Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s traits has always been to ask his interlocutors to pray for him. Even many years before becoming Bishop of Rome, he would not end a conversation or letter without that phrase the whole world has come to know over the past decade: “Please do not forget to pray for me.”
Shortly after the election of Pope Francis, Argentine journalist Jorge Rouillón wrote an article recounting what had happened to him a few years earlier when Bergoglio was Archbishop of Buenos Aires. Prayer for those who ask to be accompanied and cared for is a way of being close and present to others in their time of need, and corresponds to what Jesus Himself taught and witnessed in the Gospel.
“How do we pray? Is this how we pray, out of habit, piously but quietly? Or do we put ourselves courageously before the Lord to ask for grace, to ask for what we pray for? Courage in prayer: a prayer that is not courageous is not a true prayer," he said."The courage to trust that the Lord hears us, the courage to knock at the door... The Lord says: ‘For whoever asks receives and whoever seeks finds, and to him who knocks will be opened’. But one must ask, seek and knock.
