Prayer is an activity. Prayer is a state of being. Out of this search comes a deepening discovery of self. Out of this search will come the true meaning of self. From our acceptance of self, our prayer becomes an act of faith in the silent, active presence of the Lord.
Prayer is silent.
Prayer is spoken. Prayer is sung. Prayer is true self-awareness. Prayer is a kind of loving. And a silent, simple loving is the best kind of prayer, for it makes the soul receptive to the soundless speech of the Holy Spirit.
