We struggle for self honesty, negating self absorption. As we discern substance from accidentals, we become more open to the wonders of creation and the gifts of grace. Daily communion with God makes known to us something of the truth and riches of God. Loving attention is the essence of prayer. Our loving attention is proportionate to the quality of our love.
Genuine love demands significant self control of body, mind and spirit.
We bring our poor, wretched selves to the living and true God and remain with him despite distractions. Our focus is primarily on God, not on self or events. Silence and surrender to God are conditions for reverence and awe. Through these conditions God s activity becomes more important than our own. True gold Authentic prayer brings silence to the center.
