I too am a deeply religious person &#8212; I am a Roman Catholic.  I am calling because I have lost my ability to pray.  I prayed very hard for my sister&#8217;s recovery from an illness, but she died! Ever since she died, I have been unable to pray again.<br \/>\nPrager said something like: I have an answer for you.  I am not sure you will find it emotionally satisfying, but it will satisfy you intellectually, but I have to take a break, so don&#8217;t go away&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, I had to go away and couldn&#8217;t hear Dennis Prager&#8217;s answer.<\/p>\n<p>Since you are (or were) a devotee of Dennis Prager, I figured you would know: is there any way for me to be able to hear the recording of last Friday&#8217;s program so that I could find and listen to the answer he gave the above caller?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><A HREF=\"http:\/\/pragertopia.com\">Pragertopia.com<\/a>.
