A tip of the dotMagis hat to Tim Merriman, who has included many of this blog’s Best Ignatian Songs on a Spotify playlist. (Join Spotify and search for “Ignatian Songs.”)
Here’s one of Tim’s favorites–“That’s Why I Pray” by the country duo Big & Rich. The song is about prayer as a response to pain and suffering, beginning with humility:
Now I’m begging for forgiveness
I wanna make a difference even in the smallest way
I’m only one person, but I can feel it working
I believe in better days
That’s why I pray
