All is gift. Just behind "that small tear in the surface of the world" breathes the generous living God, the divine artist.

‭‭

~ Christopher Pramuk.

‭‭

Sometimes when we least want to pray, when we are stressed, busy, tired, and overwhelmed, this is the time to pray. This may be particularly true when our situations are ones of extreme burden or distress--the expression and listening discovered through prayer may be a path through this maze of suffering.

‭‭

Out of the silence of contemplative prayer arises order, a vision of hope--even beauty, as patterns of God's design are illuminated in our lives. Patiently, as we trust and pray, wait and believe, love's winged graces arrive on wings of hope. And all this, as we simply and patiently practice the daily discipline of prayer, making a space in our lives for time alone with God.
