To be able to enter daily into the silence without worries, fears, doubts, without plans of any sort, to say no more than, "I AM HERE" and to feel it so, simply and truly — is an act of faith, an exercise in openness, attentiveness, devotion. It will shape your soul to meet the Friend of your heart.
The seed of prayer is sown in heaven. It pushes its stem toward the earth and comes to grow there. It produces an abundance of fruit. Then, as it becomes seed once more, it thrusts its way back to heaven.
