Pray As You Can, Not As You Can’t

Amid the flurry of news about the damage caused by the epic storm Sandy and the drama of the upcoming election, let me offer something completely different, a brief teaching video on the subject of prayer. As I mentioned before, lately I’ve been exploring Ignatian spirituality, a form of devotion pioneered by Ignatius of Loyola in the sixteenth century. One of Ignatius’ signature teachings is the importance of finding God in the midst of the everyday. This short video, done by Jesuit Paul Brian Campbell, talks about how to pray while riding in a car. It’s wise and charming and more than a little funny.
