Summer Preacher's Post: Teach Us to Pray

By Stephanie Borrett on Jul 23, 2010 at 09:18 PM in in Preacher's Post

Thumbing through Wendell Berry's poetry on the way to Sunday's reading from Luke 11, where Jesus' friends say to him "Teach us to pray."

Wendell Berry writes:

"And we pray, not

for new earth or heaven, but to be

quiet in heart, and in eye,

clear. What we need is here."

from What We Need is Here
