Nietzsche is perceptive, but he is missing something - a power greater than resentment: grace or prayer. Consider this comparison. You have probably heard about dark matter and dark energy. Scientist tell us that they make up most of our universe -about 95%. For the sake of this comparison, let's just take dark energy. Physicists calculate that this invisible energy composes 68.3% of the universe. We can't see it or even detect it, but we know it from its effect. It keeps some kind of balance and prevents the cosmos from immediately destroying itself. Well, prayer is like that invisible energy. It sustains our lives, our families, our parish, our world.
To a degree we can measure the power of prayer. University studies show a correlation between couples praying together and staying together.
