Prayer is a language. Prayer is a silence. Prayer is a seeking and also a finding. Prayer is an openness inundated with wonder. Prayer is wonder inundated with God.
Prayer is astonishment.
Prayer is chanted melody with words and wordless singing in the heart. Prayer is a life for the glory of God. Prayer is bread, kneaded with the agony of the world for the miracle of Christing. Mass. Prayer is a love at the heart of the Church. Prayer is the healing of breaches, a building of bridges, a breaking of barriers.
