The first lenten homily from the preacher of the papal household; a reflection worth reading in full

Father Cantalamessa’s 1st Lent Homily 2016

‘It is above all when prayer becomes an effort and a struggle that we discover the enormous importance of the Holy Spirit for our prayer life. The Spirit then becomes the strength of our “weak” prayer, the light of our lifeless prayer; in a word, he becomes the soul of our prayer.’
