402: The Provision of Borrowed Words

When we can't find words to pray we can borrow them from those who have come before us – The Lord's Prayer, The Prayer of St. Frances, and The Welcoming Prayer are good examples of this. But praying words are not the only words I borrow. A listening life means an attentive one. So when we're reading, watching, or in conversation and hear a line or phrase that resonates, we would do well to keep a record of it. Today I'm sharing 10 things I've read or heard this year that have made an impact and encourage you to do the same. Listen in.
