How Shall We Pray?

DkruppaJesus’ parable gives us some guidance in how we should pray in the form of a story about two men. This image paints the picture. Our prayer is to be in humility, praising God, and recognizing our complete dependence on God’s mercy. In Pope Francis’ words, we are to be among the sheep, to smell like the sheep, and to recognize that we are all sinners depending on God’s mercy.

While I am on pilgrimage and praying for all of us, I suggest these two websites for further reflection on this Sunday’s readings.
