Prayer
December 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment
From Fr. Michael Casey O.C.S.O:
“Prayer is an intensely personal act, yet it is not confined within individuality. Prayer is larger that any of us. It is less a question of bringing prayer into our hearts than of bringing our hearts into prayer; not drawing water from the sea to fill a bath, but being immersed in an immense ocean and becoming one with it.
Prayer cannot be measured on a scale of success or failure because it is God’s work–and God always succeeds. When we believe that we have failed at prayer, it is because we decided what shape our prayer should have, and are now frustrated that there is nothing we can do to implement our ambition. Prayer is nothing more or less than the interior action of the Trinity at the level of being. This we cannot control; we can only reverently submit.”
