📖Story of the Day

It was a dry, scorching summer, and the farmers of a small village were anxious about what would happen to their crops. One Sunday, after mass, they turned to their pastor for guidance.

“Father, we have to do something, or we’ll lose the harvest!”

“All that’s required from you is to pray with absolute faith. A prayer without faith is not a prayer at all. It must come from the heart,” the priest replied.

For the entire next week, the farmers gathered twice a day and prayed for God to send them rain. The following Sunday, they returned to the church.

“It’s not working, Father! We meet every day, we pray together, but there’s still no rain.”

“Are you truly praying with faith?” the priest asked.

They insisted that they were. But the priest shook his head and said:

“No. You’re praying without faith. Because not a single one of you brought an umbrella on the way here.”
