Mystic prayer

Prayer is the process where a person seeks to communicate with God.
Mystic (from the Greek μυστικην) is an adjective that means 'partly shrouded', where the full meaning can never be grasped.
Mystic prayer therefore can never be made fully comprehensible, but is shrouded in mystery. On the other hand, since man is a being of transcendence, "Mystery in incomprehensibility is what is self-evident to man"
In the mystic prayer, the transcendental-anthropological man is realized. .
Experience
The direct experience of the mystic prayer involves intuition, instinct or insight. In his book The Law of Christ Vol.II/life in fellowship with God and fellow man, Bernhard Häring wrote:
Mysticism usually centers on a practice or practices intended to nurture those experiences or awareness. In Christianity, this is understood as happening because of the Holy Spirit because the Holy Spirit is a law "in Christ Jesus". For the Holy Spirit is for us the gift of Christ exalted in glory and signifies vital incorporation into Christ. "No one, therefore, can enter into communion with God except through Christ, by the working of the Holy Spirit”.
