Padre confused about year spoke to God (6)
I believe the answer is:
prayed
'spoke to god' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'padre confused about year' is the wordplay.
'confused' indicates an anagram.
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'year' becomes 'y'.
'padre' with letters rearranged gives 'praed'.
'praed' enclosing 'y' is 'PRAYED'.
(Other definitions for prayed that I've seen before include "Entreated" , "Worshipped" , "Addressed a deity" , "Implored" , "Appealed to a deity" .)
