Session 15: Victory Verged

Winning the War

WHAT do you do if you face a battle that, on your own, you know you cannot win? Answer: You worship.

I preach a very practical faith at The Feast.
This is what Feasters tell me: “Bo, The Feast is blessing me because you have a very
practical approach to life. You just don’t tell us to pray, pray, pray. You tell us to pray and act. Not only that, you tell us how to act.”
Absolutely. I believe in St. Benedict’s spirituality, Ora et Labora—Pray and Work or Pray and Labor.
Many religious people go overboard in their faith. They fall into hyperfaith.
But what if you’re in a situation where action is useless? What if you’re in a situation
where you can’t do anything? Where you’re totally helpless? Where only a miracle can save you?
