Struggling to Pray

The desire to pray is already prayer.

Reflections

The desire to pray is already prayer. Let that not stay just an idea — let it become the breath you take next.

Scripture

Romans 8:26

Carmelite Voice

St. Thérèse of Lisieux

Open Romans 8:26 slowly tonight. Read it as if it were a letter sent across centuries to find you, on this very page, in this very ache.

Scripture

Romans 8:26

Carmelite Voice

St. Thérèse of Lisieux

St. Thérèse of Lisieux knew this ground by name. They are not far from you. Their prayer, on the other side of glory, is praying you forward.

Scripture

Romans 8:26

Carmelite Voice

St. Thérèse of Lisieux

You do not have to resolve struggling to pray tonight. Staying here, in His company, choosing to be honest — that is already the beginning of healing.
