"Many years later, when I was a freshman in college, I felt called to pray but found that the Our Father was the only prayer I remembered; I just repeated it over and over again. What had happened to me?"

In a recent commentary, Brother Thaddeus Pistrang, O.P., reflected on forgetfulness and our spiritual lives.
