" If we are to search for
real light and eternal certainties,
we have to pray as the ancients prayed.
We are women now, not children
and we are expected to
pray with maturity.
The words most often used to
describe urgent, prayerful labor
are wrestle, plead, cry and hunger.
In some sense, prayer me be
the hardest work we ever will
engage in, and perhaps
it should be."
