Our cities, our states, our country and the world needs our prayers.

From the book, The Wisdom of Saint Augustine:

                                             Goodness Is A Gift

The mind of man is miserable and longs for happiness. It can only hope for this because change is possible, otherwise the mind could neither move from happiness to misery, nor from misery to happiness. Under the rule of an all-powerful and good God nothing but the mind's sin and his justice could have made it miserable. And nothing but the mind's goodness and the Lord's rewarding of it can make it happy. Yet even the goodness is a gift from the one whose reward is the happiness. --Saint Augustine On the Trinity, Chapter 15

                                                The Ear of God

At the heart of every human being is the ear of God. Human ears hear human voices. God's ear hears the voice of the heart. --Saint Augustine Homily on Psalm 119

"Either the evil we fear exists, or our fear itself is the evil." -- Saint Augustine The Problem of Evil in Book VII from his book, The Confessions

  You are right, River. We should always be praying for our country and the world... world leaders, no matter who they are, need our prayers. I think some people don't pray because they are worried about the words, saying the right words... but the Lord knows the prayers of our hearts... so I say, just pray... our world needs our prayers. There are so many different things to say about that, the subject so broad, and I don't want to write a journal entry here...  :-} ... so I'm just saying, to anyone who is thinking about it, to pray for the world, not just the USA... to pray for the leaders of countries where the people are hungry, sick, and living in poverty... we have our share, no doubt, and I'm thinking we have the wherewithal to banish poverty. It would require radical thinking, and radical actions to do it... I don't think our citizens are ready for that kind of response. Prayer should be followed by action... that's the part many folks forget to do, or maybe don't want to do. bea
