So absorbed with God…
He prays well who is so absorbed with God that he does not know he is praying.
— Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
Key to God’s heart…
Prayer is the best weapon we have; it is the key to God’s heart. You must speak to Jesus not only with your lips, but with your heart. In fact on certain occasions you should only speak to Him with your heart.
— Saint Pio (1887-1968)
Adoration takes charge…
As the genuine religious impulse becomes dominant, adoration more and more takes charge. “I come to seek God because I need Him,” may be an adequate formula for prayer. “I come to adore His splendor, and fling myself and all that I have at God’s feet,” is the only possible formula for worship.
— Evelyn Underhill (1875-1941)
Adoration is first..
Adoration is the first and greatest of life’s responses to is spiritual environment; the first and most fundamental of spirit’s movement towards Spirit, the seed from which all other prayer must spring. It is among the most powerful of the educative forces which purify the understanding, form and develop the spiritual life.
— Evelyn Underhill (1875-1941)
To sing…
To sing is to pray twice.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
The life of prayer…
The life of prayer is just love to God, and the custom of being ever with Him.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
