 “What we mean, in the last resort, by ‘an answer to prayer,’ is that from the beginning of time, before He set about the building of the worlds, God foreknew every prayer that human lips would breathe, and took it into account. That, and nothing less, is the staggering claim which we make every time we say the ‘Our Father.’”

                                                           – Monsignor Ronald Knox

Today’s Reflection:

To what extent does this increase my appreciation and understanding of the great gift of prayer and the exacting responsibility to pray that belongs to every believer?
