One thing I have asked of the Lord, this will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. That I may see the delight of the Lord, and may visit his temple. For he hath hidden me in his tabernacle; in the day of evils, he hath protected me in the secret place of his tabernacle. He hath exalted me upon a rock: and now he hath lifted up my head above my enemies. I have gone round, and have offered up in his tabernacle a sacrifice of jubilation: I will sing, and recite a psalm to the Lord.
— Psalm 26:4-6 Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)
“Reaching For The Light”
Prayer … p 110
Spirituality is an expression of the soul: God within. How to become one with this, our inner self, becomes the question central to our well-being. To our own good fortune the answer is ever before us: We have but to surrender ourself to God in prayer.
Prayer is self-effacing communion with God. Here, thoughts of the mind lose themselves in our divinely spiritual self, our very being suffused with Love: Love of God and Love of our fellow-man. Such is man’s natural state.
