I think when it comes to praying, most of us simply forget, or don't know how to. It seems that in our world today, many can't remember the last time they personally sat down and actually prayed to God besides at church. What does that say about us? Are we bad people for not doing so? are we not consider real Catholics or Christians? No, it just means we don't have the same personal connection with God that some others do.
God doesn't want us to simply say we believe in Him, go to church, give an offering because everyone else does. He wants us to want to be with Him. Go out, help others, pray, get closer to Him. He wants us to want to be by His side every waking moment of our lives so that when we finally go to HIm, we aren't surprised by who He is and what He's done, but rather understand Him and be even more in love because He's our Father, Creator, and one and only true Love. That's what He wants from us.
The only way to truly understand who He is and how He's your father, is by taking the time to envelope in that close relationship. The only way to have that close relationship, tho, is to never stop praying. Talk to Him.
