Dear Editor,
Thank you so much for publishing Kirsten Birkett’s article ‘On prayer, mindfulness and contemplation’ in your January edition. Surely if Christians are about anything it is prayer, for without our Almighty Father we are hopeless and helpless. May we indeed ‘yearn’ for His Holy Spirit to be at work in all our being, ideas, plans, activities. It’s incumbent upon us ordinary Christians in the pew to demand that prayer is at the core of all our purpose and priorities, living everyday and work in church and community. But do I ever ‘yearn’? May we all dare to learn to do so.
Yours sincerely,
