Prayers of the Heart
"To secure a hearing [from the Lord God], there is no need to recite set prayers composed for the occasion... I have not the courage to search through books for beautiful prayers, they are so numerous, that it would only make my head ache, and besides, each one is more lovely than the other. Unable either to say them all or to choose between them, I do as a child would do who cannot read - I say just what I want to say to God, quite simply and he never fails to understand."
All Wise God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, How great you are and yet you stoop to listen to the tiniest silliest of us and you hear our prayers, however badly expressed, however unimaginative, however primitive and you never fail to understand us. Please keep reminding us, through the cheerful spirit of St Therese, to keep turning to you and whispering or singing to you what is in the depths of our hearts that you may sanctify our minds and thoughts and bring them into your kingdom of Love. Amen.
Thank you! 152 people prayed
