We may feel spiritually "young," we may feel powerless, we may feel anything but able to combat forces coming against ourselves, the world, and those we love. The truth, however, is that we have been given the weapon - the "stone" - of prayer. Even a simple aspiration, prayed from the heart and in effect hurled against the giants, has much more power than we can imagine.
We each have our little pouch of stones. Simple aspirations, the Mass, prayer with Scripture, the Liturgy of the Hours, songs of praise, the rosary, adoration, chaplets, fasting and sacrifice; yes, each of us has our own little bag of stones...
I pray that God will gather together our prayers, blending their fragrance as incense before Him. There are so many stones in our pouches, possibly more than we realize. I will be praying for each one of us, that we uncover and practice using our "stones..."
