Albert, re: "Even if she would it would be like calling Bush and bin Ladin to pray instead of fight"

Both of them are doing both and the former doesn't seem to be helping to reduce the latter. At least there has been no divine intervention on a large scale.

Albert Re,...no she is calling for our side to pray.....<<<<<<<<

Here is the last paragraph and half of the article.

He was unusually generous with others, shared what he had, was known for a particular kindness. He helped friends in the Resistance, but he did not join them. Why? Because, as he told a friend, the only resistance that would work was asking God's help. "The only thing that will be effective is prayer." So he quietly and constantly prayed, for the liberation of Poland and the end of Nazism and the safety of his jailed and abused Jewish and Christian friends.

Prayer is the hardest thing. And no one congratulates you for doing it because no one knows you're doing it, and if things turn out well they likely won't thank God in any case. But I have a feeling that the hardest thing is what we all better be doing now, and that it's not only the best answer but the only one. <<<<


While the example she gave was from the polish Jew, in the final paragraph she states that "But I have a feeling that the hardest thing is what we all better be doing now," which I take it as including everyone.

Even if she would it would be like calling Bush and bin Ladin to pray instead of fight<<<<<<

Yes, that is exactly what she is saying. Wouldn't it be a better world?
