Prayer joins us to God and to Love

Morning: Psalms 97, 99; Isaiah 63:7-14; I Timothy 1:18-2:8
Evening: Psalm 94; Mark 11:12-25
Why do we lose faith in God, or in Love?  We neglect to pray. We love new things and go after them instead. The people of Israel knew God’s love through his presence with them “all the days of old”. But they rebelled. For stability of faith and peace in our hearts, prayer must be like breathing. Monks pray 5 times a day. So do our Muslim friends. Prayer makes us strong. Christian communities are not “dens of robbers”, but when we do not pray, we rob ourselves of a rich blessing.
