Havent my past sermons taught you anythingYes Emilie threw at him that you pray for those who are close to God and those who arent who need Him you toss away like garbage.

Signore Buon Dioabbiate pazienzason di nuovo io.

Prayer is making space available for God to do beautiful things with your life.

If He strips us of all our own resources we just might learn to lean on Him. And to start praying again.

The author chuckles at the resistance to using a prepared written liturgy in prayer. He compares it to being unwilling to dress in any clothing we did not make ourselves or being unwilling to drive a car we did not construct entirely by ourselves.

Jai Shiv shambu shiv shankar Jai Bhole..

Men in prayer give greater license to their unlawful desires than if they were telling jocular tales among their equals.

So take a breath and find what is unsolved in your heart.Breathe in patience breathe in love.Love yourself bountiful.And send that love out to others.When you send love out from the bountifulness of your own love it reaches other people.This love is the deepest power of prayer.

But that is all prayer requires faith hope and love. Great holiness or piety or sanctity are not required. Prayer is a road to holiness.

...if He made us He must know He is to blame when He has made us weak or evil. And He must understand why we have been so made and when we throw ourselves into the dust before Him and pray for help and pardon surely--surely He will lend an ear
