When one is searching for the lost property both of his father and of his teacher, his teacher’s loss takes precedence over that of his father since his father brought him only into the life of this world, whereas his teacher, who taught him wisdom [i.e., Torah], has brought him into the life of

So with this power and promise of prayer, what’s gone wrong? Why is the world still in this mess, why is there so much hurt, so much pain, why does the Church seem to be on the back foot, receding not growing? We have the first aid kit, we have the solution. But we don’t use it. Its like having a
