Roman Catholic Prayer

There are various forms of prayer appear in the Bible with the most common form being petition. This is the simplest form of prayer. It has been termed the "social approach" to prayer. Under petition, a person confronts God in prayer directly, to ask for their needs to be fulfilled. God may or may not choose to answer. This is the primary approach to prayer found in the New Testament and most of the Church writings.
