Lenten Reflections #22
March 13, 2026
Some days I soar through my day remembering to attend the meeting, finish the project, teach the lesson.
But as soon as the check is lost, traffic doesn’t move, or the post is not written, I pray. Because prayer is
the only way to weave through life’s maze without hitting every obstacle.
IF PRAYER AND THE WORD OF GOD DO NOT NOURISH OUR SPIRITUAL LIFE, WE RUN THE RISK BEING SUFFOCATED BY THE MANY CARES AND CONCERNS OF DAILY EXISTENCE. PRAYER MAKES US SEE REALITY WITH NEW EYES AND HELPS US TO FIND OUR WAY IN THE MIDST OF ADVERSITY. // Pope Benedict XVI, General Audience Address, Vatican City, 25 April 2012
What I learned:
Prayer is a spiritual energizer, an emollient.
Thanks for joining me.
I’m so glad your here,
Lucretia
