The liturgy and the Bible teach us many great prayers that people have been memorizing for centuries, but we rarely think about the roots of those prayers and what else they teach us about the Lord. Today Michael talks with author Shane Kapler about the Jewish roots of our Catholic prayer tradition and how even the most seemingly basic prayers teach us about the love of God and how we can increase our love for Him. As well, Shane offers some encouraging words for praying through suffering and how to pray when the words just won't come out.
