My Jesuit spiritual director was also an avid hiker. He explained that before a mountain hike, he’d talk me through it first: “there will be a steep 30 yards, but then a lovely meadow, and if you can go another mile, we’ll come to an alpine lake.” The trick with giving directions is: we must have first visited the place ourselves. We can’t expect children to plunge avidly into prayer if we haven’t demonstrated that we pray regularly and with gusto.
