Real prayer and real God

This Lent we've focused on prayer in a variety of ways:  praying in color, praying through home devotions and praying through the Catechism.  This week we hear one of the most raw prayers in the Bible, as Mary (not Jesus' mother) expresses her grief to Jesus (John 11:1-45).  The response of Jesus is a reminder that we are real with God, we discover who God really is.
