I'd like to remind Amy Patsch, who's just published column in the Herald entitled "The Need For Prayer", that Pope Francis repeatedly emphasized the importance of prayer to be coupled with action, believing that a prayer without action is not truly prayer. He argued that prayer and action should be united and should never be separated, forming a dynamic Christian life, a perspective is deeply rooted in Ignatian spirituality.
Moderator's Note: Thy Will be done "requires no action other than acquiesence. Glad to know you are reading Amy's Column when one always has the option to pass to the next article .
