The Importance and Power of Prayer

Posted by | Prayer | No Comments

This article comes from fellow blogger Fr. Dwight Longenecker. I am re-posting this because it is very powerful and very pertinent to the scenes that are playing out in my life. Enjoy!

What do you mean by ‘Prayer’ to start with? If you thought it was asking God for stuff you’re not completely wrong.
