When Prayer Refuses to Flatter Us
An ancient prayer from Leonine Sacramentary for mercy, guidance, light.
Some prayers do not decorate the soul. They undress it. That is part of their kindness.
So the invitation is simple: do not merely admire the sentence. Borrow it. Pray it until it starts telling the truth in your own voice.
