II Christianity plays its rightful and
compelling part in the postwar
peace the credit will go In large part
to this brilliant woman.
Her words on prayer hold les
son for all and hold a remedy for
those with courage enough to adopt
her practice.
II used to pray" she says, that
God would do this or that. Now I
pray that He will make known His
Will to me. But to know His Will
and to follow 1t calls for absolute
sincerity, absolute honesty with one
self. 1t means using ones mind
to the best Of ones ability.
How is that done?" BY practicing
the presence of God - by daily
communion with Him with me
religion Is a very simple thing.
1t means to try with all my
heart and soul and strength and
mind to do the Will Of God.
