What hindrances of prayer do you have?
The hindrances to prayer that I experience are mainly due to a lack of faith at times.

This thought should lead us to realize that we are hypocrites if we attempt to convert others and yet
Space and Things: Incarnating the Sacred When faced with the term "religion," it is more common than not that a person would associate the word with some kind of symbol.

Love was an "unsolved mystery" (636) for Louise and she had no problem giving up the "possession of self-assertion which she suddenly recognized as the strongest impulse of her being" (636). Louise appreciates a life without love because love is nothing but a hindrance. Contemporary women simply cannot relate to marriage being so much like an ownership deal. Women enjoy marriage
