Good morning, Digital Neighbors!
During the days of Lent, I hope to offer these morning reflections for our Supporters with little teasers for you visitors at Padre’s. Typically, I kept very few things under the Supporter lock, but the Lords of Locals like it when we offer more exclusive content to those who put their cash on the table and skin in the game.
Pray! Pray to know God, pray to change yourself. If you are praying to change God and know yourself, you have it backwards in the Judeo-Christian tradition. You might make a good Hindu, Buddhist, or New Ager with that perspective, but you would not make a devout Jew or Christian even if many Christians and I imagine some Jews want to change God and know themselves through prayer, meditation, or contemplation. While that is not without its merit, knowing God, or at least His will for us, His bond with us is the goal and fruit of Judeo-Christian prayer.
