Prayer Request
"Prayer is not asking for what you think you want but asking to be changed in ways you can't imagine." - Kathleen Norris"Prayer and love are learned in the hour when prayer has become impossible, and your heart has turned to stone." - Thomas Merton
"Prayer, which is essentially listening for God and offering ourselves to God, is only possible if we admit our contingency, our complete dependence. And if we sit still long enough, we can perhaps hear, as Julian of Norwich heard, that "everything is finally going to be all right," that we are accepted and loved beyond our wildest imagining and that, whatever the circumstances in which we find ourselves, no matter how ragged and tattered our life, God is present to hold and heal us. When Jesus urges us to "pray always and not to lose heart," he speaks not of "empty phrases and many words," (which he specifically discourages) but of the condition of constant alertness and open-ness before God. This is the work of a lifetime. " - Donald Spoto
