This episode emphasizes the need for prayer. It is important for the priest to focus on his ministry. But it is critical for him to focus on the ministry of prayer. We spend little time in prayer and more time in doing. We can’t solve these problems alone. The burden is not on us alone. Hopefully this episode will inspire you again to return with boldness to the “throne of grace.” (Hebrews 4:16)
Nothing you see equals prayer. It makes the impossible possible, the difficult easy, and the crooked way straight. -St. John Chrysostom
Mission Assignment: Let us practice at a minimum of thirty minutes focused time, daily the ministry of prayer and being at the throne of grace.
