I was sick last night and this morning. Therefore I am only now getting around to posting today's reflection. My apologies to you, dear readers.
The Letter of St. Paul to the Romans, Chapter 8 verse 26:
... the Spirit too comes to the aid of our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit itself intercedes with inexpressible groanings.
So I was reminded this morning as I lay ill in bed. We are reminded of our weakness all the time when we sin, which is itself a kind of sickness. More on that tomorrow.
It's good to remember that we "don't know how to pray as we ought," which means it is often useful to simply shut up and ask the Holy Spirit for a little help. Even if we don't see or hear or feel it right away, He will be happy to oblige.
