Prayer as a Life Attitude.
Victor Hugo, in his brilliant novel, Les Misérables, 1862, wrote, “Certain thoughts are prayers. There are moments when, whatever be the attitude of the body, the soul is on its knees.” Oremus! (Let us pray) – Rev. Mark Walz preached the sermon. (RunTime 18:50)
Mark offers this opening thought: “The word prayer can be problematic to many of us in the Unitarian Universalist faith. Some of us don’t put much stock in prayer and honestly believe that we don’t in fact pray. ”
Mark also poses some very thought-provoking questions: “What if prayer is the concentration of our personal concern and capabilities, our intensified energy focused on some shared goal, or purpose? What if it is the summoning of all our internal strength, beyond the capacity that we know for certain that we have? What if it is that which in supreme need calls uncritically upon all the resources, of not only our own person, but also the resources beyond ourselves?”
