Long for God
Our
spirit should be quick to reach out toward God, not only when it is engaged in
meditation; at other times also, when it is carrying out its duties, caring for
the needy, performing works of charity, giving generously in the service of
others, our spirit should long for God and call him to mind, so that these
works may be seasoned with the salt of God’s love, and so make a palatable
offering to the Lord of the universe. Throughout the whole of our lives we may
enjoy the benefit that comes from prayer if we devote a great deal of time to
it.
Saint John Chrysostom
