The Nature of Prayer

This is the nature of prayer, that it raises one from earth to heaven, higher than every heavenly name and dignity, and brings one before the very God of all.

-–Gregory Palamas, Mt. Athos, 1296-1359

The Divine’s Voice

Let us open our eyes to the divine light, and with startled ears let us listen to what the divine voice is calling out every day: Today if you should hear his voice, harden not your hearts. -–Benedict, Nursia, 480-550

Prayer of Decision

On such decision depends the very foundation of our relationship with God…hence the great significance for time and eternity of these moments of decision.  They become moments of lived prayer…

…Hence when we speak of the prayer of decision, we mean that lived prayer in every decision made in accordance with the will of God.

-–Karl Rahner, Prayer, Germany, 1904-1984
