When alone, we might pray in silence, or meditate on verses from the Bible, or say the rosary, or read from a prayer book. When with others, we may pray before a meal, bow our heads during an invocation, or join in the Mass. On some days prayer seems less satisfying. It is hard to concentrate. We are distracted by our surroundings or by the affairs of the day. The words do not make much sense. Or we are just too tired. Those troublesome days come, but there are other days when prayer works. We feel drawn into the presence of God. The songs truly give praise. Our needs prompt us to call upon God more directly. The faith of others inspires us. We may feel discouraged by a lesser prayer once we have experienced all that prayer could be. Even when we cannot pray the way we wish, our prayer still pleases God. When you do something for someone you love, you may not always have the right words, and you may not always select the perfect gift, but the beloved knows what is in your heart. St. Paul tells the Romans, “The Spirit comes to the aid of our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought.” The Spirit intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings. If we do not feel like prayer, all we have to do is try. The Spirit will take it from there.

  • 07-21 Lawrence of Brindisi
    “We do not preach ourselves but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your slaves for the sake of Jesus” (2 Cor 4:5). Today is the Memorial of Lawrence of Brindisi, a Doctor of the Church noted for his preaching. His sermons rely heavily on scriptural quotations to illustrate his teaching. As a bright and talented student, he had a knack for learning languages and was able to read the biblical texts in their original language. Lawrence had an excellent knowledge of the languages Jesus spoke, Hebrew and Aramaic. He gave the credit to God for his gift with languages. “At the request of Pope Clement VIII, he spent much time preaching to the Jews in Italy. So excellent was his knowledge of Hebrew, the rabbis felt sure he was a Jew who had become a Christian.”i As a scholar, he tried to learn from the master. “Remembering the sufferings of Jesus Christ, he could not refrain from tears. He honored Mary, the Mother of God, with a very tender love, and to her he ascribed whatever he had received from Christ. Greatly devoted to prayer, he used whatever time he could for it and was often lifted up in ecstasy. He was famous for the gift of prophecy and the reading of hearts.”ii Lawrence was born in 1559 and entered studies for the priesthood with the Capuchin Franciscans in Venice at the age of 16. Completing his studies in Padua, he was ordained at the age of 23. He lived in the era after the Council of Trent and the Counter Reformation.
