Sometimes it happens that we pray with very little. We are internally somewhat detached. Blessed is he who can say to Christ: “Jesus Christ, I hide nothing from you in my heart; you know that I can hardly express my desire to unite with you. You yourself have experienced the human condition. You know that sometimes I feel pulled in every direction at once. But even when my inner self experiences emptiness, I still have a thirst for your presence. And when my prayer fails, you are my prayer itself.”
(Brother Roger /Robert Schütz; 1915–2005/)
