The point of mythology or myth is to point to the horizon and to point back to ourselves: This is who we are this is where we came from and this is where we're going. And a lot of Western society over the last hundred years - the last 50 years really - has lost that. We have become rather aimless and wandering.
If any of you should ask me for an epitome of the Christian religion I should say that it is in one word - prayer. Live and die without prayer and you will pray long enough when you get to hell.
