Pope Benedict’s treatise grants us an insight to the continual progression of prayer through growth in the theological virtue of hope in the life of every Christian, a progression that reaches its culmination in the same prayer of Christ. As the Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church states, “Hope is the theological virtue by which we desire and await from God eternal life as our happiness, placing our trust in Christ’s promises and relying on the help of grace of the Holy Spirit to merit it and to persevere to the end of our earthly life.” Pope Benedict, through his audiences, seeks to give us at least a glimpse into the Truth that hope directs us to.

Defining what a business is can be a daunting task. Its telos today as before is not very well understood, much less is there a consensus. Philosophers have added to the conversation proposing the main tenets of a business such as focusing mostly on being entirely answerable to its investors1, focusing only on its profitability and success, minimalizing business activity to a short list of do not’s, simply maximizing long-term value, or focusing on the integral good of all of those involved. A lot of the conversation is even based simply on the material and instrumental or on the means and methods rather than on the ends and purposes. Each, subsequently, is necessary for the life of the business, but in order to understand why each of these parts are encompassed in the telos of a business, such a task requires a deeper understanding of human action and interaction. It also requires a deeper understanding why man works in the first place, especially as part of a community called a business.

This paper gives a short synopsis of a certain "mystogogy" of prayer expressed in through Pope Benedict's Wednesday audiences on prayer. Growth in prayer means uniting one's own prayer and sentiments to the same prayer and sentiments of Jesus Christ, and this shown through the developing prayer of the Patriarchs and Prophets, the Psalms, and finally in fulness of the prayer of Jesus Christ himself.
