Our Reading on 03.06.05

“Life in the dimension of the spirit is a mystery rooted in the joy of being. The wonderful beauty of prayer is that opening of our hearts is as natural as the opening of a flower. To let a flower open and bloom it is only necessary to let it be, so if we simply are, if we become and remain still and silent, our heart cannot but be open: the spirit cannot but pour through into our whole being. It is this that we have been created for. In contemplative prayer we seek to become the person we are called to be, not by thinking of God but by being with God. Simply to be with God is to be drawn into being the person we are already – fully alive.” John Main
