1. In
this reading, Benson and Wirzba write a section on becoming what you pray. They
write that “prayer belongs to the life of the heart, to the life of the
passions and the sufferings and joys of mood and emotion”. I think this is a
profound statement, with a bit of truth in it.
When we pray in such a sacred way
as this, where “true” and “false” are nothing but merely defined words, we move
forward in our understanding of the rest of the world around us. We’re able to
better connect and understand what we are actually saying in our prayers, and
able to believe it more easily.
