From Martin Thornton:

Personal petition is the heart of prayer as corporate adoration is its peak.  It is unfortunate that Protestantism tends so to stress the value of petition - "sincere prayer from the heart" - that it obscures its ultimate consummation in the corporate worship of the Church.  It is just as regrettable that a certain type of Catholicism so emphasises the Office and the Mass that it overlooks a personal religion which alone guarantees adequate participation in them. - Christian Proficiency, p. 87.

Evangelical is not enough.  Catholic is not enough.
