Blog Post 10/30/2023 – A Thought for Praying in Dry Times


A Thought for Praying in Dry Times

St. Therese of Lisieux said, “Prayer, for me, is simply a raising of the heart, a simple glance towards Heaven, an expression of love and gratitude in the midst of trial, as well as in times of joy; in a word, it is something noble and supernatural expanding my soul and uniting it to God.

Whenever my soul is so dry that I am incapable of a single good thought, I always say an Our Father or a Hail Mary very slowly, and these prayers alone cheer me up and nourish my soul with divine food.”  [The Story of a Soul p. 141]

Think about what prayer is for you and what part does it play in your life?

May God Be Praised.
