On
Prayer
It seems as if
we were created for prayer. Prayer is the only bond that links us to God. It
stands before our hearts as the eternal life, which is our hope. Prayer is the
condition in which we discover our own divine image, on which the stamp of the
Holy Trinity is impressed. When we lose prayer, we actually lose the glory of
our image, and we no longer resemble God in any way. God draws us to himself
through prayer, and through prayer we mysteriously travel toward him in a
manner too deep to understand. In fact, through prayer we draw God to
ourselves, and he comes to us and makes his home with us.
Matthew the Poor (1919-2006)
