On liturgical prayer

[deborahjross]

Sometimes you're just too strung out to come up with your own personal prayers. Having the text in front of you kind of takes you by the hand and walks you over to something that matters more than whatever is getting you down.

What a wonderful -- and true -- quotation. Thank you.

I've been reading "Making Prayer Real: Leading Jewish Spiritual Voices on Why Prayer is Difficult, and What to Do about It" by Rabbi Mike Comins. Great stuff there, universally applicable.

Thanks for introducing me to that quote, Deborah. Very useful, especially since this is the season of Lent.
