As if we didn't know already, Saint Paul reminds us this morning that we do not even know how to pray. And truly it is not the how of our praying that matters, but the what and the who. What do I want; Whom do I desire?
Let us fall backwards into the warm embrace of the Spirit's groaning, as with confidence we allow God's mercy to envelop us.
