Maybe I Was Praying For Him Then, In My Own Way. Does God Have A Set Way Of Prayer, A Way That He Expects Each Of Us To Follow? I Doubt It. I Believe Some People-- Lots Of People-- Pray Through The Witness Of Their Lives, Through The Work They Do, The Friendships They Have, The Love They Offer People And Receive From People. Since When Are Words The Only Acceptable Form Of Prayer?

This Is So Rich A Country That Luxury Has Developed At The Expense Of Necessities, And Even The Destitute Partake Of The Luxury. We Are The Rich Country Of The World, Like Dives At The Feast. We Must Try Hard, We Must Study To Be Poor Like Lazarus At The Gate, Who Was Taken Into Abraham's Bosom.

Do Not Give To The Poor Expecting To Get Their Gratitude So That You Can Feel Good About Yourself. If You Do, Your Giving Will Be Thin And Short-lived, And That Is Not What The Poor Need; It Will Only Improvish Them Further. Give Only If You Have Something You Must Give; Give Only If You Are Someone For Whom Giving Is Its Own Reward.
