Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love, Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; And where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, Grant that I may not so much seek To be consoled as to console, To be understood as to understand, To be loved, as to love.
We should seek not so much to pray but to become prayer.
When we pray to God we must be seeking nothing - nothing.
Spiritual joy arises from purity of the heart and perseverance in prayer.
Be patient in trials, watchful in prayer, and never cease working.
Our hands imbibe like roots, so i place them on what is beautiful in this world. And I fold them in prayer, and they draw from the heavens light
