To pray is to build your own house. To pray is to discover that Someone else is within your house. To pray is to recognize that it is not your house at all. To keep praying is to have no house to protect because there is only One House. And that One House is everybody’s Home…. That is the politics of prayer. And that is probably why truly spiritual people are always a threat to politicians of any sort. They want our allegiance and we can no longer give it. Our house is too big.
– Richard Rohr
Question for discussion: From which sources do you learn the back story— the context of issues? Where do you get depth and clarity? (I'd love to hear responses in the comment section!)
A closing inspiration:
In daylight, one candle is insignificant. In deepest darkness, one candle is radiant.
