The Wisdom author says, I prayed and wisdom came to me. Watch out! Prayer is dangerous. Remember Sirach's warning: "If you wish to serve the Lord, prepare yourself for an ordeal" (Sirach 2:1).
If people know a prayer, it’s the Lord’s Prayer ... By soldiers going into battle. In church, Sunday by Sunday. At the christening of a new child, and at the coronation of a King.
