Mission and Prayer

Holy Hermit St Gall 

Quotes from "Dearest Sister Wendy . . . A Surprising Story of Faith and Friendship" by Sister Wendy Beckett, Robert Ellsberg:

"I’m convinced that real prayer is the air we breathe, a way of being, not just something we stop off our real life to do." 

"Our Blessed Lord is in the work-a-day world as truly as in the depth of silent prayer and we will never find Him completely if we only want to engage with Him on the level we have chosen. He chooses the world and so must we."

"Prayer is each one of us facing God in Jesus, with the Holy Spirit speaking His praise within us. Since each of us is different, how this comes about must be different. So I think the danger of prayer books and prayer talk is suggesting there’s a right way to do this. I find that most people seem to think there is a right way, and everybody knows it except them."

"At least one doesn’t need physical strength for prayer. Whatever state we’re in, that’s the state in which He wants us to receive Him. Oh the bliss of it!"
