Praying Hearts


“He said that the world could only be known as it existed in men’s hearts. For while it seemed a place which contained men it was in reality a place contained within them and therefore to know it one must look there and come to know those hearts and to do this one must live with men and not simply pass among them.” The old, oddly dressed Indian-Mexican man to 16 year old Billy Parham in Cormac McCarthy’s The Crossing.



May our prayers live with the hearts of those who share our world. In them may we come to know
those hearts and the world contained therein and in so doing may the knowing of our own hearts and
world become more complete and more all embracing. Amen
